Richard P. Crossman of Allen Insurance and Financial was recently honored by Certified Risk Managers International for leadership and professionalism in the field of risk management.

"Having and applying up-to-date technical knowledge is what distinguishes the most successful risk management practitioners," said Michael Pierce, president of Allen Insurance and Financial. "Dedication to advanced knowledge and professional development like Dick's is one of the hallmarks of our staff."

In addition to the CRM designation, Crossman is a Certified Insurance Counselor, another designation requiring continuing education in the insurance field.
