"While I was learning about claims and learning about the industry, that's when I knew that I wanted to get into management. And that's really the only time in my career, that I can recall, going after a job . . . and so about ten years after I started in the business, I became a manager and I have been in management ever since."
~ Pat Van Bakel, BA, CIP
