There were multiple sessions for agents to participate, and the focus of the session was on improving agency performance. Jane participated in excellent sessions presented by MarshBerry and by Steve Anderson (The TAAR Report). One of the highlights of the meeting was getting to share a cake made by Carlo’s Bakery (of Cake Boss fame) that highlighted Selective’s commitment to writing Main Street America.

The Alliance’s annual Accellerations sales contest meeting took place on May 2 at the Harrisburg Business College, and drew presentations from sponsoring carriers, Ohio Casualty, Selective, Cincinnati, Eastern Alliance and Penn National.

The event included five carrier-presented sessions that provided quality time with attending Alliance producers, and a networking lunch that provided time for more in-depth discussions.

At lunch, John Eltringham of Hampson Mowrer Kreitz was recognized as the March Accellerations top-producer winner. Previous month’s top producers included Frank Tull of The Rig Darlington Group (January) and Tom Templeton of Doty & Hench (February).
