The magazine listed three insurance executives from the Dallas-Fort Worth commercial insurance company as 2009 Power Brokers™ in its annual list of the nation’s top commercial insurance brokers.

Dot Hedman, RHSB senior vice president and partner, was listed in the Public Sector category for her exceptional service to public entity clients. In the category of Fine Arts, Kathleen Roth, account executive – Elite Client Services, was named for the second year in a row because of her keen attention to detail and ability to provide sound advice to clients in an efficient and effective manner. David Kohl, RHSB senior vice president and partner, was recognized as a finalist in the Global Brokers category.
