Blue Ridge CPCU - 35 Year Anniversary in 2010

 

During 1975, several dedicated CPCU professionals saw the need to create the local CPCU chapter we enjoy today in Southwestern Virginia. During 2005-2006, our theme centered around celebrating our 30th anniversary at each of our chapter meetings. On May 11, 2006 we commemorated our 30th anniversary at Mama Maria's Restaurant (one of the best Italian restaurant's in our local area). David Lowe, Senior Claims Adjuster, St. Paul Travelers provided an EXCELLENT presentation on "Responding to Disasters".  He shared what it meant to be a Claims Adjustor and provided first hand accounts in responding to the aftermath for Hurricane Katrina.  We had excellent attendance, fellowship, and even an anniversary cake to celebrate this excellent milestone.
