This is a time when the insurance industry is facing the challenges of aging agency ownership and an aging workforce, both resulting in staff shortages in many establishments across the nation. Despite these trends, the staff at V.F. McNeil Insurance an independent property and casualty insurance agency, located in Branford, Connecticut, is continuing to forge ahead.
One employee is celebrating his 10-year work anniversary. In addition to this anniversary celebration, he has a second reason to receive praise for his accomplishments. Salvatore D’Angelo, AAI, Account Executive has recently completed all CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) coursework. Earning a CIC designation is very in-depth and advanced coursework offered by The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research.
D’Angelo started his training in 2020 and completed his last course in December 2023. Once he completes the final exam, he will proudly advance his professional designation from Accredited Insurance Advisor (AAI) to CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor). In addition, D’Angelo completed all Connecticut state-specific continuing education requirements of 2023, as well as almost 30 hours of in-house product training to further advance his knowledge of management liability insurance products.
Mr. D’Angelo’s ongoing commitment to education and professional growth benefits his clients and his associates. In addition, the insurance profession as a whole benefits from the level of importance he places on his job to help consumers protect what they’ve built personally and professionally. “We couldn’t be prouder to have Sal on our team. He has truly been a benefit to the agency, the clients he serves, and his colleagues. We wish him all the best and commend his accomplishments,” remarked Daniel McNamara, CIC, Agency President at V.F. McNeil Insurance.
