CLASS of 1999

mahoney.jpg (44368 bytes)Hi, I'm Pat Mahoney and I'm the 1999 New Designee Rep for the Philadelphia Chapter's Class of 1999 New Designees.   When I completed my CPCU studies in June with three courses, CPCU 4, 9 and Au66, I felt that I achieved a blast into the millenium. Study had been my priority for the previous six months and I had kept myself sane by involving almost everyone who crossed my path. Colleagues that rode the elevator with me found themselves in a conversation about Keyne and Uncle Miltie (AKA Milton Freedman). Luckily, I have a humorous personality and we were all able to laugh and enjoy. The study almost became a combined effort with everyone cheering for me. It is hard to explain the fantastic feeling of accomplishment that came over me when I got notice that I had succeeded.

I encourage everyone to pursue your designation and join the many professionals that proudly live the CPCU code. Persistence paid off for me since I started the CPCU studies in 1982 but a major illness in my family delayed my progress. When I shared my story with a younger woman as we left the building after our last test, she said, " If you can do it, I can do it too." I was thrilled to be a motivation for this woman. I had started to give back some of the encouragement that I had received from my personal sponsor and teachers. Please contact me if I can help you at 215-744-2468 or e-mail  mailto:MAHONPAT@juno.com
