Greetings Chapter members!
Greetings CPCUs!
Did you know April is National Volunteer Month? Did you also know the Iowa CPCU Chapter and the committees at the national level are run by volunteers? As such, I’d like to recognize the local individuals who dedicate their time to putting together the meetings, activities, and development opportunities that are a benefit of your membership in the CPCU Society. Without their efforts we wouldn’t have a strong chapter that consistently achieves the Platinum Circle of Excellence award. Thank you to our chapter volunteers:
Melissa Allen, Cody Allen, Nikki Berry, Mary Calmer, Megan Eberth, Marina Gibbs, Craig Green, Kara Heinzig, Gina Helmers, Christopher Huszar, Brooke Jeffus, Barnes Kelley, Bruce Kelley, Ivy Kitzinger, Abby-Jaye Larson, Alexandra Levy, Matt Monfils, Laci Mortensen, Chris Murphy, Lori Myers,
Jen Peppenger, Morgan Regier, Casie Smith, Brad Soma, Evan Wheeler, Darren Wheeler, Neil Wysocki
I would also recognize that the work of these members wouldn’t be possible without the support of their employers. Thank you to the employers who enable our members to volunteer their time with the chapter:
Crum & Forester, EMC, Farm Bureau, Grinnell Mutual, GuideOne, Holmes Murphy, IMT, Innovative Captive Strategies, Nationwide, Pharmacists Mutual, USAA
The Good Works committee is hosting a clean-up event at Living History Farms on Friday, April 22nd. We’d love to have you join us for this volunteer event. If your employer offers volunteer time off this would be a perfect opportunity to use some of those hours while networking with your fellow CPCUs.
Please join us Tuesday, April 12th at the Des Moines Botanical Center for our April chapter meeting where Nicole Gunderson of the Global Insurance Accelerator will be speaking on their mission and introducing us to some of the participants in the current cohort.
Thank your chapter volunteers when you see them next!
Sara VanWyk
Iowa CPCU Society Chapter President
