This week we are featuring Lee Stacey, who joined us this year as a Member-at-Large for the Cleveland chapter. Lee works as Managing Director of McGowan Insurance with executive responsibility overseeing four business units: two retail brokerages and two MGAs.?He is a graduate of Grand Valley State University and University of Detroit Mercy. We asked Lee a few questions... Why did you decide to join the Cleveland CPCU Society Chapter as a volunteer board member? After spending over 20 long years of studying and exams to complete my designation (yes, it took me that long), I wanted to be in a position to give back to the industry that has provided me with a wonderful career.?I am at a point in my life and career where one of the yardsticks that I measure my own success by is how much I give back. What are you most excited about contributing to the chapter in your new role? I feel that as designees, we have a responsibility to be thought leaders in the insurance industry and to share best practices with our industry comrades to ensure integrity, consistency, and a sense of fairness and intellectual equity in the profession of insurance.?We have many designees in our area that are not active members of our local chapter and I want to increase awareness of the chapter’s mission as a repository of knowledge for the industry, fostering engagement and participation. Why was CPCU for you? We have always encouraged our employees to procure professional designations, and as a senior leader, I have to lead by example.?While my day-to-day duties no longer revolve around technical insurance issues, I cannot ask our employees to do something I am not willing to do myself. Welcome Lee! And thank you for all of your contributions to Cleveland CPCU and The Institutes CPCU Society.
Thank you Lee Stacey for all your wonderful insights that you bring to the board!
