Lisa L. Veregge, CAE, executive vice president of the Maine Insurance Agents Association, pointed out: "Agencies can expand their access to talent by using a remote staffing service. Many states including Maine are large geographically, but the availability of experienced, skilled insurance professionals can be limited. WAHVE offers a valuable new option for processing and other work for independent agencies."
The Independent Insurance Agents of Connecticut, which has represented independent agents for 113 years, represents more than 400 member agencies and their associates as well as their 3500-plus employees. The Maine Insurance Agents Association, founded in 1899, has 300 independent agencies as members. Both state associations are affiliates of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA).
WAHVE also offers remote staffing services on a preferred basis for members of Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of New York and IBA West. WAHVE is a participating employer in AARP's Work Reimagined initiative and is listed as a work-at-home option by Clark Howard.
