Shirley Crandall, LUTCF

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]

President

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]Shirley Crandall was first introduced to the insurance industry in high school when she worked part-time for The Travelers Insurance Company. She continued her employment with this insurance company throughout college, commuting from San Antonio to Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) in San Marcos.

 

Following graduation from Southwest Texas State with a BBA in Marketing, Shirley accepted a position in commercial sales for a telecommunications company. After 18 months she resigned to return to her roots in insurance and has remained in the insurance industry since then.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_accordion collapsible=”yes” style=”accordion”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Read More”][vc_column_text]Shirley accepted a position selling partially self-funded medical and dental insurance plans to employers with over 100 employees at Transport Life Insurance Company. During the mid 1980’s, Texas experienced an economic downturn and her clients were downsizing and/or purchased by another company. After four years in this position, Shirley decided to open her own insurance agency in January 1987 to provide an opportunity to acquire a larger share of the market. The agency was originally named SHIRLEY CRANDALL and strictly specialized in employee benefits and Shirley was the only employee.

 

The agency experienced continued growth due to Shirley’s insurance knowledge, marketing and service skills. The agency was incorporated in 1991 and renamed Crandall & Associates, Inc. The agency relocated to its current corporate headquarters 3 acre site in January 1993. For several years Shirley received numerous client requests to expand the agency’s portfolio to include Commercial and Personal Lines. In 1995 Crandall & Associates, Inc became a full service, multi-line insurance agency.

 

Shirley holds a General Lines Agent license (Life, Accident, Health and HMO and Property and Casualty). She received the designation of Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow (LUTCF) in 1992. She has served as president of the San Antonio Association of Health Underwriter’s. Shirley currently serves on the board of Clarity and Deborah’s House non-profit organizations. She enjoys serving and taking an active role in these and other non-profit organizations to give back to the community.

 

Shirley is also active in The Oakes Club and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). She has served as co-chair of NAWBO’s Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards (ESA) luncheon which is a fund raising event to provide scholarships to young women interested in owning their own businesses. She served as the Door Prize co-chair for the 2004 and 2005 ESA luncheons and currently serves on the Corporate Partner Relations committee.

 

She resides in San Antonio with her three children.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”86″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”100″ css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3034″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
