Executive Director Partners with Benefits Specialist
For over a decade, American Fidelity has been a strategic partner of the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA). KASA’s mission is to represent all educational leaders in Kentucky so they can serve their students the best they can.
Dr. Rhonda Caldwell is the Executive Director of KASA and has been with the association for over 21 years. Her certifications include a bachelor’s in organizational management, a master’s in business administration, and an EdD in educational leadership. They provide her with a well-rounded point of view on both business and education in Kentucky.
By partnering with KASA and other education associations across the country, American Fidelity gets the chance to support the mission of school districts while also meeting their unique needs.
In an interview with Dr. Rhonda Caldwell, you’ll get an inside look at how she and KASA view their partnership with American Fidelity.
Why did you partner with American Fidelity?
With teaching being one of the top five most stressful positions in the United States, we needed to find a partner we could rely on to take some of that stress away.
American fidelity specializes in educators in terms of the benefits it provides to all our public-school leaders here in the state of Kentucky, and that specialization brings to us benefit plans that really align to our lives.
How would you describe KASA’s relationship with American Fidelity?
The relationship we have with American Fidelity is one of partnership and friendship. It is based on mutual respect and trust.
What is the biggest difference between American Fidelity from your past benefits providers?
There are three main differences when thinking about American Fidelity compared to our past benefits providers, and even current partners.
It is customer service, it is expertise, it is also a network of folks across the nation and the state that allow me to take my benefits and services with me wherever I go. I don’t necessarily see those among other partners that I have, and I have many partners in the association.
What are other school districts missing by not partnering with American Fidelity and why do you think that is?
One thing that I believe people are missing out on is American Fidelity’s heart and soul in terms of investing in Kentuckians as educators. Every single day, it is an investment in us as individuals and us as professionals to be the very best that we can be through the services and benefits that American Fidelity provides to us.
American Fidelity provides employer cost-saving solutions and supplemental insurance benefits to the education community. We help employers do more with less by administering their entire benefits program including employee education, enrollment, year-round administration, and compliance support.
