Congratulations Kimmi Cantwell!
May 23rd, 2013From the Desk of Mike Donnelly:
Please join me in congratulating Kimmi Lea Mauch Cantwell on two special achievements. Last evening Kimmi was installed as President of the Austin Association of Insurance Professionals (AAIP). The AAIP provides education and networking opportunities as well as undertaking a number of philanthropic endeavors. For example, the AAIP’s latest fundraiser supported 15 area charities. Kimmi has been serving the association for a number of years, and we are very excited for her presidency. Perhaps even more special, Kimmi was also named the AAIP Insurance Professional of the Year. We are extremely proud of her efforts and accomplishments.
Best Regards from the MDO Team.
