James Johnson, an account executive with Talbot Insurance and Financial Services (Riverside, Calif.) has been selected by Mark Wells, CEO of Wells Publishing, to receive the Matt Wells Scholarship for Producer Development.
The Matt Wells Scholarship entitles Johnson to receive a tuition-free enrollment in the National Alliance Producer Development School, an intensive three week series of sales skills-enhancing courses slated for Anaheim, California in Jan. 2004.
Johnson is a Brigham Young University graduate, where he was an All-Star football player. Before joining Talbot Insurance, he had a sales position with a customer relationship management software firm.
In addition, the National Alliance selected an AON Producer Scholarship Fund recipient from among the large number of applications for the Matt Wells Scholarship. Steven Young, a sales producer for Alliance Insurance Services (Canoga Park, Calif.), will be receiving a $1,500 award to be used towards his registration fees for the Anaheim Producer School. Young started his career as an underwriter at a firm that specialized in workers’ comp and GL for artisan contractors, and has recently transitioned his career into a producer role at Alliance Insurance.
