“Being
the fourth generation of my family to be involved in
the independent agency system, I feel it both a
duty and an honor to represent the membership of the
PIA. By serving on the board, I am contributing to
the continued success of the industry that has been
so kind to my family.”
Jon Spalding |
“One
of the very “best” reasons or benefits to being a board
member is the insider information as to what is happening
in and about the insurance market place and specifically
the Michigan Insurance market place.”
Larry Schafer |
“As
with many volunteer commitments, the amount of personal
satisfaction exceeds what originally felt like a
significant contribution Serving as a PIA of MI Board
