When your goal is go from strength to strength, adding all-stars to one's team is a surefire way to do it. And that's exactly what we're doing here at National Underwriter.

In my September editorial I shared my enthusiasm for NU's future, hinting that several positive changes were ahead—and now I'm pleased to reveal one of them. Beginning next month with our January 2014 issue, Laura Toops and Melissa Hillebrand, who most recently served as the top-tier talent behind our sister magazine American Agent & Broker, will bring their valuable perspective on the producer space to the NU team both daily on PC360.com and in our newly expanded print edition, which arrives next month.

The addition of these two talented editors to our editorial staff helps sound the charge for NU as the new year dawns. In 2014 we'll be delivering you an even bigger print edition, with a larger folio size and even more pages filled with the type of informative, relevant and actionable content you've come to expect.
