IN THE LIMELIGHT

Parma Area Chamber of Commerce proudly welcomed Viorica McLaughlin as a member earlier this year. Here is Viorica's message for her fellow PACC members:


"Hi, friends! I'm Viorica McLaughlin and I work with Western & Southern Life in Sheffield, Ohio. Family means everything to me, which is why I love what I do: helping other families and small businesses plan for the future and protect what matters most. With over ten years of experience in banking, I now specialize in retirement planning, life insurance, and investments. My favorite part of this career is connecting with people, building relationships, and finding ways to save them money while giving them peace of mind.  


I look forward to being a resource for you and your family as you plan for today and prepare for tomorrow."
