Cindy has been the President/CEO of C. Winchell Agency since May 1992. After several years as a Manager of Acme Employment Service, specializing in the Recruitment of Insurance Professionals, it was time to “branch out” on her own. C.

The Agency has a solid track record of placing approximately 300-400 insurance professionals every year. In 2006, the sudden death of her husband and business partner, Charles Winchell, could not and did not, deter her total commitment and devotion to C. Winchell Agency. With a dedicated staff of 7 Recruiters and 3 Administrative support personnel, the Agency is stronger and more successful than ever!
