🎉 Understanding Cinco de Mayo: A Celebration Beyond Borders 🎉 As we gear up to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, it’s essential to understand its historical significance and how it has evolved into a cross-cultural celebration. Originating in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the unexpected victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, the triumph became a symbol of Mexican resistance against foreign domination. Interestingly, while Cinco de Mayo is observed with modest ceremonies in Mexico, it has taken on a life of its own in the United States, where it is celebrated with much fervor. The day has become an opportunity to honor Mexican culture, heritage, and contributions through parades, music, folkloric dances, and, of course, vibrant displays of traditional cuisine. As professionals, Cinco de Mayo also offers a moment to appreciate the diversity in our workplaces and communities, recognizing the enriching contributions of various cultures to our collective success. Let's use this occasion to foster a deeper understanding and respect for the histories and traditions that shape our world. Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate! Let’s continue to embrace and learn from each other's cultures, not just today, but every day. #CincoDeMayo #CulturalAwareness #DiversityAndInclusion #PostsByLB

https://lnkd.in/geVgq5pi #InsuranceStory: I went to school for Business Administration having no clue what career I wanted to pursue. One day while in the library at SUNY Oswego (which didn't happen very often! lol), I decided to look at a book that outlined different careers you could pursue with a 4-year Business Administration Degree. I came across "Insurance Underwriter" which sounded interesting. It was at that moment I decided I wanted to try and get a "leg up" by gaining some insurance experience through an internship. Not knowing the difference between an insurance carrier or agency, I decided to open the phonebook yellow pages (an actual printed book that listed all businesses by category from A-Z, lol) and solicit each insurance business asking if they'd be willing to hire a college intern for the summer. Low and behold, I received a call back from a local prominent independent agency who was willing to bring me in. I spent the summer processing personal lines policies and backing up our claims department by taking claims calls. I continued to work at the agency throughout my senior year of college and during my spring semester, I attended thirteen 8-hour Saturdays of insurance licensing classes. By the time I graduated college, I was a licensed Property Casualty Insurance Broker. I was hired by this agency as a personal-lines insurance broker after graduation, and that is how I began my insurance career! That was 30 years ago and since that time I have held various insurance roles on both the agency and carrier side of the insurance business. I have worked in personal, commercial, life, financial services and surety lines of business. Almost two years ago, I had the opportunity to join Erie Insurance Group as a Senior District Sales Manager in Central New York. I quickly learned what an amazing culture Erie exhibits and I'm SO PROUD to work for such a tremendous organization and the amazing agents that represent us!! Have you ever considered #insurance?

My #InsuranceStory: I went to college for Criminal Justice and Arabic. Super insurancey right?!?! WRONG! I worked in various #jobs in Probation and Parole, Corrections as well as a social worker after I graduated. They were all jobs to me. I went overseas and became a defense contractor. I was responsible for going off base and surveying battle damaged vehicles and bringing them back to base for retrograde or disposing of them. Essentially material damage adjusting or field auto appraising of multi-million dollar vehicles. I was getting ready to come home and end my second contract and I put an application at Erie Insurance Group. Why? Advice from my Father: "If you're going to come back to your hometown, you might as well work at the best company in your hometown while you figure out what you want to do next." Little did I know what would come next is 11 great years with the organization, countless friendships and partnerships. Insurance was meant to be a stepping stone to something else. It was a stepping stone into a great company and life. Have you ever considered #insurance? Sick of just surviving in a job? Click below to see where you could thrive with an #insurancecareer.
