Bringing Margo and J.R. to our franchising team will continue our mission of bringing powerful partnerships to our agents that generate prosperity for everyone.” Mackedanz previously served as the Minnesota and Iowa state vice president where she helped in the evaluation of new partners and served as a liaison between agency staff and carrier partners. She has obtained her Associate in Personal Insurance (API) and Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designations. Fasy comes to Keystone from Markel Insurance Company where he served as the Manager of Business Development with Markel Specialty. He is an Accredited Adviser in Insurance (AAI).   - Share - - - [mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=Check%20out%20this%20site%20https://blog.keystoneinsgrp.com/margo-mackedanz-and-j-r-fasy-join-keystones-expansion-efforts-in-midwest-and-mid-atlantic](mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=Check%20out%20this%20site%20https://blog.keystoneinsgrp.com/margo-mackedanz-and-j-r-fasy-join-keystones-expansion-efforts-in-midwest-and-mid-atlantic) - #### Get in Touch Keystone is for people who believe that powerful partnerships generate prosperity.
