SPRING FEVER
OFFICERS

Chair of the Board
John B. Hollister
hen this issue of Primary Agent arrives in your mailbox (or inbox, as it may be), it will be spring. Here in the Poconos, April means melting snow, greening mountainsides and – if all goes well – opening golf courses.
Vice Chair of the Board
Craig S. Mader
Immediate Past Chair of the Board
Michael F. McGroarty Sr.
MEMBERS
However, as I sit down to write this message, it’s early March and a different story. We’re in the midst of a late-winter storm, complete with snow, ice and high winds. While April feels very far away, I’m setting my sights on spring and the renewed energy it brings.
Emory Stephen Burnett, CIC, ARM
At your agents’ association, April brings a new membership year. And this year, in particular, spring feels like the absolute right time for it.
Ashley M. Fitzsimmons, CISR
I just returned to the office after our winter IA&B Board of Directors meeting, and the energy among the member volunteers and IA&B staff was contagious. Things look and feel different – from the new IA&B logo, to the refreshed brand promise, to the renewed commitment to members. Truly, it is an exciting time to be a member of this organization. Don’t miss out. If you haven’t renewed your membership for the 2018-19 year, I encourage you to do it today, so you can come along for the ride.
