I never thought I would be saying that we are halfway through week 8 (the 2nd to last week!) of this internship. It was so weird this week when I filled out TWO evaluations pertaining to how this summer internship was for us, which definitely gave me the feeling that this 9 week program will be coming to a close sooner than we know it.

As most of you heard, I was assigned to work in BSD last week. My anticipations were high and I was very excited to learn more about what they do; however, it was a bad week for them to have me over there because most of their producers were out the entire week for vacations, etc. As a result, there was little for me to do and help with over there. It was definitely no one’s fault, it was just bad timing. The great thing was I was able to meet some of their producers, account managers, etc. I have noticed many more people saying hi and chatting with me this week from the BSD side because they now know who I am.

I did get to go to a meeting for a client we work with on Wednesday of last week with two producers here. It was a beautiful hotel, so no complaints there obviously. The client is up for renewal soon so we sat down with the GM, CFO, Account Manager, and head of HR of the hotel to go over other options for carriers for some of their benefits. Then we had a wonderful lunch overlooking the ocean, which topped off a wonderful day.

This week I have been helping Stacy, my intern coordinator, move offices because we hired a new producer so Stacy is moving down the hall. Her and our branch manager are out the next two days to have two meetings in Northern CA with clients, so I have been assigned to help with things like contract reviews, stop loss reports, still scanning all of our paper files to make them electronic and sending those over to Iron Mountain, doing prospect calling, and many more little things here and there.

Talk to everyone tomorrow! -Lindsay
