The Legislative Excellence Award recognizes Chris’s tremendous work as a consumer activist on behalf of his clients, fellow insurance brokers and the Sacramento Association of Health Underwriters.

“I’m excited that we can pay tribute to the leaders in our industry on a local level. Chris has been a key player for our industry in helping to educate legislators about how reform affect business and individual clients” said California Health Underwriters State Legislative VP, Dave Fear, Jr.
Bender responded, “It is a blessing to work with such a fine group of professionals in the Association of Health Underwriters. Being united helps us work toward our goals of effectively educating groups and individuals alike and focus on delivering affordable insurance to all citizens of our great nation.”
