Here in the POWERS Insurance and VIAA family we value our employees tremendously. Each month we put a spotlight on one of our employees to show them how much we appreciate their success in our agency. This month we have spotlighted Christen “Chrissy” Beardall.

Chrissy is highly valued as our Director of Information Technology. She has been with our family for 16 years. When asked what superpower she would want she responded, “Teleportation, so I could get from one place to another quickly without having to sit in traffic or pay for airline tickets.”
