I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for Tim Kanter as he seeks the position of Vice President of NABIP. I have had the privilege of knowing Tim since 2017 when he was the incoming president of the CAHIP Ventura chapter. From our very first meeting, we bonded over our shared passion for helping clients, our relentless work ethic, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. At that time, Tim was a small agency owner and primary producer, much like me. Over the years, I have watched him grow his agency, take on leadership roles, and make a significant impact within our industry.
Tim is a leader who prioritizes his team. He has a talent for generating innovative ideas but, more importantly, he has the discipline to refine his vision, focus on a few strategic goals, and collaborate with his team to build consensus. Once aligned, he is tireless in his pursuit of these objectives, ensuring that every effort is both purposeful and effective. His leadership was instrumental in resurrecting the CAHIP Foundation Board, and he went on to serve as the President of CAHIP, demonstrating his ability to drive meaningful change at both the state and local levels.
One of Tim’s greatest strengths is his unwavering dedication. He does not make commitments lightly, and when he does, he follows through with measurable results. He embodies the principles of SMART goal setting, ensuring that his objectives are specific, achievable, and impactful. His belief in NABIP’s mission and vision is not only evident but also contagious—his enthusiasm inspires those around him to be more engaged and proactive.
I have no doubt that Tim will bring the same passion, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to the role of Vice President of NABIP. He is a proven leader who understands the importance of teamwork, vision, and execution. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy and encourage you to give him your full consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.
