Instead of Agents As RMs, Why Not Have RMs In Insurance Agencies?

The subject of agents serving as risk managers has come up quite a bit lately. Most of the articles address the need for this expanded role, as well as the importance that agents not overextend themselves. However, I think the industry will see something different than traditional insurance agents picking up risk management designations on their way to sell more insurance, as some have suggested. One option that is often overlooked is that real live risk mangers may in fact find themselves working in insurance agencies.

I am an Indiana State University Insurance and Risk Management graduate, Associate in Risk Management, and veteran of two large corporate risk management departments. Now, I work for a small insurance agency.
