Next month First Nonprofit will announce a handful of new states. Effective January 1, we'll bring our agents and brokers new opportunities to expand your nonprofit book of business with us.
There's more exciting news to report. Effective November 1, Deb Zborowski is promoted to Vice President of Regional Operations and Programs. Deb is responsible for the performance of all three regional offices. Her strong entrepreneurial background will bring synergy and speed to the rollout of new products and territories in 2012 and 2013.
She'll also bring a new synergy to our agent and nonprofit outreach. First Nonprofit's ramped up efforts to touch nonprofits through webinars, live events, social media, and inbound marketing will funnel more leads to our independent agents and brokers. She also assumes responsibility for the Central Region as Regional Vice President.
Chris Finkley returns to the Underwriting side of the house with his promotion to Vice President of Insurance Operations. He'll guide the performance and direction of the Underwriting unit. He has the depth of skills and experience to fulfill our goal of creating a multiline underwriting unit that combines workers' compensation, D&O, package, auto, and umbrella underwriting, plus insurance operational services, under one efficient roof.
The promotion of Chris Finkley and Deb Zborowski to these newly created posts signals the beginning of a new chapter in First Nonprofit's unique approach to insuring. We're positioned for dramatic growth in the coming months. We look forward to partnering more closely with you so that we'll grow and prosper together.
