Chamber of commerce insurance agent honoured

Chambers of commerce all across Canada take part in group insurance plans for their members. For many entrepreneurs, it is the only way to affordably or practically obtain comprehensive insurance coverage.

Each year the sales agents who administer these insurance programs gather for a national convention.

It was announced at the National Conference of the Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan annual meeting that Prince George’s Linda Rempel was among the best of these agents in the country.

Rempel was chosen in a peer vote as the recipient of a Sales Excellence Award at the gathering in Quebec City.

“Twenty-one advisors from across Canada were recognized with a Sales Excellence Award based on highest annual production levels over the past two years,” said Rempel.

“This is my first time to be recognized at the national convention, where the top 100 Chambers Plan Advisors across the nation are invited.”

The Chambers Plan is the largest employee benefits program of its kind in the country, providing tangible benefits to members of participating chambers and boards.

Rempel is the exclusive Chambers Plan advisor in north-central B.C. She works at Sun Life Financial.

“The Chambers Plan was introduced over 40 years ago to make group benefits available to smaller firms,” said Rempel.

“Today, more than 30,000 small and medium sized businesses nationally, who are members of 850 chambers of commerce and boards of trade, all endorse the plan.”
