Approximately 140 agents sit on eight regional councils, and the elected officers of each regional council comprise the National Advisory Council.
“The advisory councils provide value for everyone – customers, agents and Safeco,” said Davidson, who has owned his agency for 25 years. “The process helps agents work more closely with Safeco, and allows us all to provide better customer experiences. It’s an honor to serve as president of the regional advisory council.”
