The HawkSoft User Group provides a valuable forum for agency professionals to collaborate, share best practices, and help shape the future of one of the industry’s leading agency management systems. Through volunteer leadership and member engagement, the group helps agencies maximize their use of HawkSoft while fostering a strong community of independent insurance professionals.

Kelly’s service as Immediate Past President and current Treasurer reflects her ongoing commitment to supporting fellow agencies and contributing to the success of the broader independent agency community. Her leadership has helped strengthen connections among users while encouraging collaboration, education, and knowledge sharing across the network.

Leadership Beyond the Agency

Industry involvement plays an important role in helping agencies adapt, innovate, and grow. By serving in leadership positions within organizations like the HawkSoft User Group, professionals like Kelly help create opportunities for agencies to learn from one another and share strategies that drive success.

We’re proud to recognize Kelly’s contributions and grateful for the leadership she continues to provide both within the HawkSoft community and as a valued member of Indium.

Congratulations, Kelly, and thank you for your continued dedication to helping independent agencies succeed.
