Lockton Affinity is an insurance brokerage firm working with affinity groups, nonprofits, associations and franchises.Becky has been with Lockton since 2001, first as a recruiter and then VP of HR with Lockton Affinity and then about a year ago, Senior Vice President of HR. Incidentally, Lockton Affinity started in 1987, making it about 36 years old…and Becky has been with them since 2004. So she’s been with Lockton Affinity for more than half of their lifetime.Becky, who's originally from Detroit, got her degree in Textile Apparel Studies from Western Michigan University, and then started her career at Kohl's before moving to Kansas City and going to work for Lockton Companies.She talks about that transition, keys for job seekers today, the importance of culture and looking for the right people to fit a culture, and much more. (And, of course, she takes a swing at our Pregame Batting Practice.)LINKS:For more information about the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program for high school students, visit our website.To make a financial gift to give students life-changing one-on-one mentoring, visit our secure donation page.For all episodes of the C-10 podcast and ways you can listen, click here.If you’d like to make a comment, have a suggestion for a future guest, or your company would like to help underwrite this podcast, please visit our contact page.
