Meet the Veterans@Assurant ERG Members

Insights from a few of our Veterans@Assurant ERG members

“I remember too well what it felt like to transition from the military service to the corporate world. I felt lost, disconnected, and uncertain of where my steps would lead me. To have had this community then would have brought so much value and a sense of direction. My hope is for us to be that for others.”

– Eric Crowley, People Partner and Chair of Veterans@Assurant

“For as long as I could remember, whenever it came to the military, I have just always wanted to do ‘my fair share.’ There are just so many servicemen and women who have ... sacrificed so much, so being part of the ERG is a small way in which I am able to give back to my fellow veterans. I am all in on raising awareness of the attributes a veteran brings to the workplace.”

– Bob Loughery, Director Customer Service and Vice Chair of Veterans@Assurant

“Being a military spouse also brings me a tremendous amount of pride. Proud to know I am supporting my husband as he serves our country. Proud to be supportive of other military families experiencing the unique challenges of military life. Proud to be a part of establishing an ERG and showing the impact allies have on veterans.”

– Becca Price, Director Governance Compliance and Secretary of Veterans@Assurant

“I want to assist in creating a vibrant community and network for veterans and their allies at Assurant. The Veterans@Assurant ERG will provide this opportunity for the members to engage with each other and reach out to the community to raise awareness and bring more veterans to the Assurant team.”

– Rich Gallaher, Senior Director Finance and Treasurer of Veterans@Assurant
