The Safford-Graham County Chamber of Commerce helped cut the RI Insurance ribbon at noon on April 19 to celebrate the new business and location.

RI Insurance at 203 E US Highway 70, Safford is owned by Janet Alder. Alder is a registered agent for Medicare and health care plans. She helps seniors set up their own Social Security benefits. She helps people who have just reached her retirement and think their current plans may need to change.

Janet also helps people who use the healthcare marketplace for their health insurance. She is great at defining hard-to-understand terms and helps people get the coverage they need.

In his speech, Graham County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Vance Bryce welcomed Alder to its new location in the region and introduced Torrie Cranford of the Small Business Development Center. Mr. Cranford is also the Treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Cranford also welcomed Mr. Alder and briefly spoke about the Ocotillo Collective, which encourages business collaboration.
