WESCCON 2017 is just a week away, and your Roanoke Trade team is preparing for another successful PCC event! This year we will be stationed at booths 30-31, and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Making Changes
We’re excited to announce a transition that has happened recently at Roanoke Insurance Group Inc. Karen Groff, Executive Vice President of Operations, assumed the role of President on October 1. In this role, Karen will now be responsible for the ongoing leadership, management and directional planning of the organization; Bill Sterrett will assume various strategic assignments and remain on Roanoke’s Board of Directors as Chairman. Karen has more than 24 years of experience with Roanoke working in the specialty insurance areas of marine cargo, liability, transportation-related bonds and ATA Carnets. She has held various management positions in Roanoke’s regional sales and corporate offices, and is a champion of automation and creative client solutions throughout. We invite you to join us in congratulating Karen in her new role!

Many of your Roanoke favorites (and a few new faces) will be attending this year’s conference, including Sean Walsh, Dave Jordan, Terry Cummings, Glenn Patton, Amanda Barlow, Patrice Lafayette, Anna-Marie Porter, Ty Samples, Jon Diverio and Ron Gee. Don’t forget to catch them on the links, at the registration table, on the tennis court, between sessions and at our booth.
