Lead expertise in the expansion of the corporation's plans, programs and strategic partnerships. Assess and advisement on the impact of long range planning, introduction of new programs/strategies and regulatory action.CS is a brokerage that emphasizes full disclosures and market partnership over using scale or leverage to coerce a carrier to provide altered terms or offer insurance to an applicant outside their appetite. Some brokers rely on the ability to force a carrier into making a short-term concession, we do not believe this is how long-term client-carrier relations are built. We rely on open dialogues, complete information, and expert market selection to ensure our clients can develop stable multiyear partnerships with appropriate markets. Show less
