Spring Employee Appreciation (for reaching Q4 goals)
“I accepted his offer to jump head-first into the insurance business and have never looked back,” he told Insurance Journal.
Cote first joined Chalmers Insurance Group, a fourth-generation, family-owned agency headquartered in western Maine, in 2000 as an account manager. He assumed his current role as president in 2014, finding not only a career at the agency that has spanned nearly 20 years so far, but also a family legacy dating back to 1857.
Indeed, Chalmers has been in business for 160 years. Dottie Chalmers-Cutter, vice president of operations, and James Chalmers, vice president of sales, currently serve on the leadership team alongside Cote. They are both part of the fourth generation of family to own the agency, which was recently nominated by its employees and won Insurance Journal’s Best Agency to Work For Bronze award in the East region. Employees nominated the agency by answering questions to an anonymous survey."
