Listen to an interview from AgNewsWire with Zach Allsup, CIRB ELP member and Assistant Vice President - Claims, on how he’s benefited from being in the ELP program.
“I know more what it takes to actually get things changed, how to be part of that progression. I think being part of it through CIRB allowed me to make some more connections not only with people in the industry but people that are representing us through the Senate and the House,” said Allsup.
