“I am challenged every day as an underwriter in the Property & Inland Marine division in Atlanta, GA. Not only do I work on renewals and new business, but I am also able to participate in agency marketing visits. There are many benefits to the CMD Program, but interacting with our CEO was definitely the highlight of my first year!” – Katie K., CMP Associate
