Meet Your California Council Membership Liaisons

As you know, membership is an intricate and vital piece of our organization and requires dedication and commitment on so many levels.  I am looking forward to representing our state as Membership Development Chair and look forward to implementing ideas that I know are out there.


Our goals this year will include reaching out to current members as well as potential members and share our message so that we may grow our organization, to continue to update our CA Council Membership section of the website on a regular basis, to recognize a member each month for their accomplishments and to keep members informed.


It is with great honor and privilege that I introduce to you your 2010/2011 Membership Liaisons for CA Council.


Micheal Hawkinson (hawk@heffgroup.com) is your current Northern California Membership Liaison and is the current President of Peninsula Insurance Women’s Association (PIWA).  Micheal has been a member of NAIW (International) since 1986, with a brief hiatus in the mid 90’s.  She was drawn to NAIW because of the fellowship.  She has found that through this organization she has been given the gift of strength.  Strength to be a part of a team and see tasks (whether meeting or fundraising events) come to fruition.  “It’s not always been easy to go out of my comfort zone, but I try and when I do, I am enriched.  The NAIW membership is awesome”


Alison Holmes (aholmes@burns-wilcox.com) is your current Central California Membership Liaison and is the current 1st Vice President of Insurance Women of Fresno (IWOF).  She has been a member of NAIW (International) for 7 years and has enjoyed the opportunities that her membership has provided both personally and professionally.  She is a Surplus Lines Broker for Burns & Wilcox/Rathbone, King & Seeley in Fresno, CA.


Jennifer Hetzel (hetzelj@bgsurplus.com) is your current Young Professional Membership Liaison and is the current
President of San Diego Insurance Women (SDIW). She became an NAIW (International) member for the networking and has been a member for 3 years.  She is a Surplus Lines Broker for Bliss & Glennon in San Diego, CA.   She recently was awarded Rookie of the Year at Region VIII conference.


Christine Chandler-Tillet (stai30@aol.com) is your current Southern California Membership Liaison. She has been a member since 2005, and is the current Web mistress and Immediate Past President of Insurance Women of Los Angeles (IWLA). When asked what drew her to NAIW (International) she responded with “The networking opportunities that present itself and the ever-involving door of friendship.  NAIW offers numerous educational classes that provide a long-time veteran like me the opportunity to learn and grow.”


Please feel free to contact either myself, or any one of the Liaisons to share your ideas, questions or concerns.  We are open for suggestions on how to make our organization one to be proud of.
