Despite its current outside condition, The Bettis Agency, a new insurance company, located at 1029 S. Ft. Thomas Ave., is now open for business by appointment. While renovations are complete inside, storm damage is being repaired on the building.

Amy Bettis-Shah, a 1996 Highlands alum and NKU graduate, recently rented the space formerly occupied by Designer Ally Custom Cabinetry.

Bettis-Shah was in the banking business as a VP in retail branches for more than ten years. After taking some time to raise her family, she decided to return to work as an insurance agent.


"I knew that I had a strong background in sales, service and business management. When I looked at the market, I saw there is such a need for help with healthcare and employee benefits that opening my own agency with Colonial Life and Accident Insurance Company just made sense. So I started as an agent to ensure that I knew all then accepted the opportunity to open this agency in February of this year to cover the Greater Cincinnati Area, Bettis-Shah said.

She added that this location is great, close to home, safe and sees a lot of traffic.

"Numerous members of our community are small business owners which is who I work with, and I wanted to give back to our community," Bettis-Shah said.
