Lauren Chambers
Chambers Benefits Consulting, LLC, Owner
They say if you can find something you like to do & something you’re good at, to combine the two & you’ll find your passion. I found mine for this industry back in 2008, by helping guide individuals & families navigate the ACA & being willing to keep up with the ever changing landscape of health insurance. In more recent years, my passion comes from taking a consultative approach with my clients; helping their business’s bottom line while simultaneously providing strategic & customized plan design solutions that help them attract & retain valuable employees at the best rates possible. I have years of experience helping other agencies become successful in doing the same which has led me to taking the next step into the role as agency owner.
