BNI DeSoto is proud to spotlight two of our members who are stepping up to support local State Farm agents during a time of major industry uncertainty.

With recent contract changes creating frustration and concern for many agents — as highlighted in this WGLT report — our chapter is fortunate to have professionals who are ready to help them protect their clients, their businesses, and their future.

🔹 Les Wright at Duke Health Insurance Solutions - licensed in MS, TN, AR, FL, AL
Les specializes in healthcare coverage, including individual, family, Medicare, and supplemental plans. As many State Farm agents navigate shifting corporate policies, Les is a trusted, independent resource who can help ensure their clients still receive the coverage and care they deserve.
If you know a State Farm agent feeling the pressure, Les is ready to support them.

🔹 Mel L. Hungate, Jr. - Edward Jones
Mel understands how industry changes can impact long‑term planning, retirement strategies, and financial stability. He’s committed to helping State Farm agents evaluate their options, protect their income, and build a resilient financial plan — no matter what the future holds.

At BNI DeSoto, we believe in relationships over transactions, and we’re proud to have members who step up when the community needs them most.

Many State Farm agents said they feel angry and betrayed by the Bloomington-based company.

Happy Birthday to Chuck Jackson — a man who brings as much heart to his work at Guaranty Bank & Trust Company as he does to a Saturday in the Grove or a perfect drive down the fairway.

Chuck, everyone who knows you sees the same things: your faith, your love for family, your passion for Ole Miss, and your ability to make any day feel like a winning game. You show up for people — and that’s why people show up for you.

And since it is your birthday, it’s only fair we honor your one true birthday wish:
that folks go ahead and move their banking to you.

Here’s to a year filled with:

Straight‑down‑the‑middle golf days that feel effortless

Ole Miss wins worth celebrating

Family moments that remind you what matters

Faith-filled blessings that guide every step

New customers who finally realize you’re the banker they should’ve been with all along

Chuck, may this birthday bring you joy, laughter, and a whole lot of new accounts. You deserve every good thing coming your way.
