Harris said, “My services go beyond making sure my members have life insurance protection or the right retirement plan in place. I am there for them and their families as life changes, sometimes for the good, sometimes for the worse. My members are like my family, and the trust and peace of mind I am able to give them makes this career so rewarding.”
