A graduate of Gannon University in Erie, PA, Miles also earned the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation in 1992.
James Lewis has been promoted to executive vice president for EHD’s property and casualty division. Lewis joined EHD in 1997 and was vice president and branch manager of EHD’s Exton office. A 1983 graduate of Albright College, he has been in the insurance industry since 1985.
Scott Radcliffe has been named executive vice president for EHD’s employee benefit services division, after previously serving as manager and then vice president of the benefits department. A graduate of Franklin & Marshall College, Radcliffe began his insurance career in 1990 and joined EHD in 1995.
In EHD’s Lancaster office, Thomas Getz, Joseph Harriger and Christine Jensen have been promoted to senior vice presidents.
