President's Report
Dear Minnesota Chapter Members,
As we settle into the end of January, I hope this message finds you energized and optimistic about the year ahead. While winter's cold weather lingers around, we can take comfort in knowing that warmer days are just around the corner, with each passing week bringing us closer to spring's eventual arrival!
As the new President of the Minnesota Chapter of the CPCU, I want to thank our past president, Robert Sellmeyer, for a great 2024. I also want to thank you all for your support and wish you all an exciting 2025. My contact information and our new Vice President’s, Sarah Koich, are below. Please reach out if we can help with anything.


As for now, the board is hard at work planning activities and engaging events for 2025. In fact, please check out the below section for our new event and stay tuned for email updates throughout the year for more information. The Chaptergram emails and visiting our website is the best way to stay updated and learn how to leverage your CPCU Society membership.
I'm excited to serve our chapter and look forward to a fantastic year ahead! If you ever need anything, I’d be happy to help and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
Thanks,
Tyler Becker
