Madison Harnist joined the CRC team in November 2019 as an Associate Team Leader with the Forth Worth, Texas office, where she's responsible for working as an associate broker, collaborating with the team to successfully market new business and handle renewals for existing clients.
Madison's grandfather enjoyed a long, successful career in the insurance industry, sparking her interest in the field and inspiring her to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Risk, Insurance, and Financial Services from the University of North Texas in 2019. While completing her degree she served as a 2018 Summer Intern with State Farm Insurance, where she gained valuable experience analyzing 1,100 fire claims and spent time learning more about initial loss reporting and underwriting. She was also awarded a scholarship by the Insurance Council of Texas and attended their annual Property and Casualty Symposium in 2018. After graduating, Madison joined Burns & Wilcox as an Associate Broker, supporting strong relationships with agents by handling applications, preparing binders, and processing policies or endorsements.
She enjoys collaborating with the Fort Worth team to provide outstanding service and conquer the challenges each new day brings. Teammates appreciate Madison's relentless work ethic, reliability, diligence, and creative problem solving. She gets the job done, working with a sense of urgency while paying attention to the details. As her expertise grows, Madison plans to obtain her Associate in General Insurance (AINS) and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designations.
Madison lives in the Fort Worth area where she's an active Pi Beta Phi alum. Outside the office you'll find her enjoying time with family and friends, traveling to experience new places, or relaxing at the lake.
