Sandy DeLong,

By Jonathan Wright
Sandy DeLong has seen a lot of
changes since she entered the in-
surance industry eight years ago.
Enhanced computer programs, pub-
lic education, legalities, and a vari-
ety of other changes have kept her
busy in remaining up-to-date with
numerous insurance companies.
Mrs DeLong began work April 11
with the American Automobile Asso-
ciation (AAA) Travel Agency in Le-
wisburg as its insurance agent, a
new position. She continues dealing
with changes by training and practi-
cal experience.
"People are now buying more in-
surance than they used to," she
said. "With the growing number of
lawsuits we see today, people are
more afraid of being unprotected.
They're also more knowledgeable
today about insurance--and the
types they really need."
Computers have also brought
about change in the way insurance
work is done, according to Mrs De-
Long. "They make it easier and
.faster to get rate quotes, lists of
clients, and other information--they
make things much more convenient,
and there's less paperwork, too."
