"Tat attitude begins with a simple but important position that our staf takes, which is 'this isn't my insurance agency; it's yours.' "One of the things that gives us a lot of satisfaction is that the physicians have a place they can go and trust the infor- mation they are getting. Trust is crucial," Godbey explained. With all the sources of information available these days, it's easy to fnd advice and information, but it's sometimes hard to know what advice to believe. MSVIA has built a strong level of trust with physicians across the commonwealth, and plans to do the same with its attorney clients. She expects the many years of experience working with professionals in a membership environment to be another area where MSVIA will add value. MSVIA is afliated with the Medical Society of Virginia, a professional associa- tion of more than 8,700 Virginia physicians. "We already understand the unique relation- ship between an association and its members. It is a really good ft since our organizations are similar." 34 • VBA JOURNAL This is a natural progression under the umbrella of insurance services for VBAI.
