Marine Underwriters Renew Scholarship Support
Posted on December 6, 2010 by Doug Webster
President William B. Eisenhardt and wife Kathryn recently attended the annual dinner meeting of the Association of Marine Underwriters of San Francisco. At the dinner, the President accepted a pair of $5,000 checks for student scholarships – one from the Association and one from the Board of Marine Underwriters of San Francisco, an affiliate of the American Institute of Marine Underwriters..
Philip Nelson, VP Marine Division of Alterra Insurance and President of the Association of Marine Underwriters of San Francisco presents a $5,000 check for student scholarships to President Eisenhardt on behalf of the Association.
The organization began funding student scholarships in 2003 and today ranks as one of the major corporate donors to the cause. Association President Philip Nelson said, “We are pleased continue our support of Cal Maritime and its mission of preparing young men and women for careers in the maritime and transportation industries. This is at least the 8th consecutive year that AMUSF has donated to the Academy. It is also worth noting that that there were at least ten Cal Maritime graduates attending the dinner who currently work in the marine insurance community.
Julie Vogele, Executive Underwriter with Travelers Marine Insurance and Vice President of the Board of Marine Underwriters of San Francisco presents a similar check on behalf of the BMUSF.
Julie Vogele added on behalf of the Board of Marine Underwriters, "It is our pleasure to be able to offer our support to California Maritime Academy as just a small token of our appreciation for the fine job the University does in educating young people in the many areas of the Maritime industry."
