Lately, the "Demotech Difference" seems even more appropriate. We have been experiencing some substantial and positive changes at Demotech so we can continue to make a difference. The most exciting of these changes is the addition of three new staff members to the Demotech team since August. We anticipate these new additions to play an active role in shaping Demotech's future direction, as we refine and broaden our services.
We consider these differences quite positive and expect them to be essential in continuing to offer you, our clients and friends, greater service and value in the coming months ahead. We will continue to use The Demotech Difference as our vehicle for communicating announcements and changes.
I would like to take a moment to introduce our new team members:
Irisa Wasson - Irisa joins us from Bank of America, where she was involved with loan administration. Irisa's role at Demotech is as an Executive Assistant and Client Service Coordinator. You can expect to hear from Irisa through some of our corporate communications and mailings. Be sure to contact Irisa if you are interested in joining Demotech for a Columbus Blue Jackets game.
Douglas A. Powell - Doug joins us from the Educational Council, a non-profit organization that coordinates workshops and educational assistance for Central-Ohio teachers and child-care facilities, where he was the Grant Coordinator and Staff Accountant. Doug is joining Demotech as an Analyst and will be assisting Demotech in a variety of client-service activities.
Robert M. Warren - Bob has joined Demotech with more than 25 years of insurance experience as well as both CPA and CPCU designations. Most recently, Bob was the Chief Financial Officer with the Ohio Mutual Insurance Group. Bob will be lending his experience and expertise to many of Demotech's services.
In the coming months, Demotech anticipates integrating these new resources and continuing to serve our clients' interests in new and expanding ways. Do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance or if you have any input for our attention.
