We often are asked, “what makes CIRSA different from a commercial insurance agency?” In this issue we discuss what distinguishes us, and what that means for members. Read our feture, The CIRSA Difference, and you’ll better understand why our services and expertise are so valuable.

We also discuss a phenomenon known as the “First Amendment Audit.” All members should read this article to know why a “First Amendment Auditor” could be coming to your city/town, and how to deal with it.

In our regular “Get to Know” series, we introduce you to Marie Stephens, whose prior experience as part of a CIRSA member (City of Durango) has helped her hit the ground running as our Human Resources & Business Partner.

Jessica Cowlishaw, Senior Underwriting Representative celebrates 15 years of collaborating with members to make sure they have the proper coverage.
