Allen People

Martha Wentworth, CIC, CRM, CPRM, business insurance producer in Allen’s Waterville office, has been asked to work with the Maine Bureau of Insurance’s Continuing Education Advisory Board, where she joins Sally Miles, Operations Director at Allen, as part of the group shaping the professional development of insurance agents in Maine. To have two members of our team serve on this body is recognition of both their personal experience and skillsets, as well as the regard the agency is held in by peers, carriers, and regulators alike. Their contributions will undoubtedly make a significant impact, benefiting not only the committee but also all our insurance industry colleagues across Maine.

Patrick Chamberlin, CIC

Patrick Chamberlin, CIC, a member of the business insurance  team at Allen Insurance and Financial, is now a licensed property & casualty  insurance consultant in Maine.

“This is an outstanding achievement by Patrick and it is a testament to his tenacious commitment to professional development,” said Dan Bookham, senior vice president for business development at Allen.

Bookham notes that the number of licensed insurance consultants in Maine is very limited, and Allen Insurance and Financial now has five: Patrick joins Anna Moorman, Dan Wyman, Sherree Craig and Lee Cabana, all of whom have their life & health consultant licenses.

“This new license for Patrick means we can now make additional services and support available to our property, liability, and workers compensation customers on a consultancy basis as well as in the traditional agency model,” said Bookham.

Chamberlin has been with Allen Insurance and Financial since 2019. He is active in the community as a Rotarian, a member of the Dupont Community Advisory Panel, both in Rockland. He also serves on the board of directors of the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Thomaston. Chamberlin’s full  bio is on the Allen website at AllenIF.com/PatrickChamberlin.
