Starting out in the industry nearly four decades ago, Arthur Seifert began as a casualty under writing trainee at Reliance before moving into an underwriter role at the company. Since taking on the role of president at Glatfelter Program Managers in 2011, Seifert has provided oversight of each program budget, including agency profit and loss. In addition, he works closely with direct reports in the planning and implementation of sales and marketing objectives, policies, and programs, as well as the promotion of associate development, all while managing two large regional retail insurance agencies.
Currently, Seifert is a member of the board of directors for York Symphony, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the United Way of York County, where he also sits on the executive committee. In addition, he is an emeritus board member of the Target Markets Program Administrators Association.
As for the future of insurance, Seifert says: “I hope the profession will throw off the shackles of the past and adopt new tools while maintaining the foundational truth that our profession is all about relationships.”
