Howard came out of retirement to take the position. “I’ve known Howard Stone (Gray-Stone’s president) for years and I even worked at Gray-Stone for a while. I called him to catch up with news and realized that I really did miss the industry,” Howard said.

She worked closely with Gray-Stone during her 20 years at Chubb, Los Angeles.
