Over 1,300 attended West Bend’s second Silver Lining Summit. The week wrapped up on Thursday with an All-Associate Conference and block party. The event brought together associates from 22 states for four days to attend department conferences, participate in professional development workshops, and build relationships through social activities. Culture is important at West Bend, and this opportunity allowed colleagues to engage face-to-face and develop relationships - which, in the end, benefits the independent agents and policyholders the company serves.
