Frequently Asked Questions About Our Transition 

A Personal Note 

After many wonderful years serving clients through MCG, Karen McCormack is beginning a planned transition to Kindred Insurance Advisors, led by her daughter, Sarah Howser. This is not a sale or a sudden change. It is a thoughtful passing of relationships, responsibility, and trust to the next generation.
