Ron Cutter wants what’s best for his clients.

“He is a person who is ethical and reliable. He takes the time to educate himself on what it means to be a public employer.

“When he became our broker, he invested the time to learn what the city’s values are and what the city’s cultures are, and he brings that knowledge to the table when it comes to discussing issues, policies or renewals,” said SueLing Gandee, risk manager, City of Hillsboro.

This past year, Cutter reviewed the city’s property policy; Hillsboro was looking for more robust earthquake coverage. Gandee said he went to the market, reviewed their options and came back with similar pricing for increased coverage through another insurer.

“But for me, what made it above and beyond, was that Ron advocated for Hillsboro’s interest and helped us maintain the crucial relationship with our other insurer,” she said.

Another client, who has worked with Cutter for more than 20 years, said “Ron has been extremely helpful in telling us what our clients really need. He gives advice on what needs to be changed.” This executive director added they look to Cutter, Brown & Brown’s public sector practice leader, for advice on the agent side when it comes to placing reinsurance.

“Frequently, I need things immediately,” said Marlee Smith-Janney, risk manager, City of Gresham. “One time I needed an immediate answer on a performance bond question right in the middle of renewals. It was not a problem for Ron, and I had my answer in short order, allowing a very important contract to move forward.”
