Why Join The CSE Agents Association (CSEAA)?

“The CSEAA has an unique relationship with the CSE insurance company. Many years ago CSE was a captive agency company and the CSEAA was formed to bring agent related issues to the company. This is why I became a member in the 1960s. It still does this today by having two permanent members on the company's Agent's Advisory board. It's is the only Independent Agent company I know of where members have unfiltered access to senior management who actually listen to what the member has to say. CSEAA members are the greatest source of Agency management information. In fact, I just got off the phone with another member discussing how best to deal with an institutional producer. Sharing experiences and ideas within the CSEAA network of agents has become the biggest reason for our continued membership in the CSEAA.”

“From everything that I have been learning lately, the Independent Insurance Agent is losing ground, FAST! The CSEAA is a great way for us to band together, learn from one another and to have the resources of CSE Insurance Group to help us along the way. The relationship with the Agencies that belong to the CSEAA and the Company is undeniably the most unique. We do not see ourselves as competitors we are agents working together to help each other, GROW!!!”

– Julie Sosa-Apencer, Valley West Financial Ins. Services, Costa Mesa

“Why join the CSE Agents Association? It's right there in our bylaws: "for the constant improvement of services to Agents and Policyholders." That's the bottom line for me.”

– Richard Reinholdt, Reinholdt Insurance Agency, San Francisco

“I have learned a great deal about how other agents successfully operate their agencies (discovering both what to do as well as what to avoid doing) and have been able to incorporate these "best practices" into how I run my shop. This, as well as the proximity to truly receptive company management - which has always stood out as unique in the industry.”

– Bruce Asbelle, Centurion Insurance Agency, Dublin, California

“The CSE Agents’ Association has been a part of the CSE family since the 1950s. The CSEAA exists to serve and sustain the CSE agent network and to provide its members with education opportunities and the unique chance to interact with other independent agents while developing relationships to help successfully grow their agencies. As a member of the association, you will have the benefit of other CSE agents’ experience, resources, and influence as they advocate for the CSE agent network. You will have access to special discounts on home and auto insurance, hear about special promotions first and have a voice in determining the course your association takes. The association also gives you unparalleled access to the CSE executives during the annual CSEAA convention. CSEAA members and their convention have an important part in steering the direction and the future of CSE and its dedicated agent network. We look forward to having you as part of the CSE family. I encourage you to sign up as a member of the CSEAA today!”
