A nationally recognized mark of excellence


The CIC designation is nationally recognized as a mark of excellence and professional achievement in the insurance and risk management industry. To earn it, Spencer completed a series of intensive courses covering commercial, personal, life & health, agency management, and company operations, and passed comprehensive examinations demonstrating advanced expertise in each of these areas.

A commitment that never stops


The CIC designation is not a one-time accomplishment. To keep the credential, designees commit to ongoing annual education, so their knowledge stays current in an industry where coverage forms, risks, and regulations are always changing. That lifelong learning requirement reflects Nothum's dedication to staying at the forefront of the profession and delivering trusted, knowledgeable guidance to every client.


What it means for you


Families and business owners in Washington, New Haven, and across Franklin County work with Nothum Insurance because they want advice, not just a price. The CIC program trains agents to look at the whole picture. In practice, that means:

  • Coverage reviews that look for gaps between your home, auto, umbrella, and business policies, not just the cheapest premium.

  • Plain-English explanations of deductibles, exclusions, and limits, so you know what you're buying before you need it.

  • Business insurance built around your operations, from general liability and workers' compensation to commercial property and risk management.

  • Life and health planning that fits with the rest of your protection.
