I have worked with AUI for the past two years for our company's health insurance and it has been wonderful. Paulette is extremely knowledgable and was there every step of the way to make sure that things kept flowing smoothly and that I always understood what I needed to do for our employees. She is always so positive and friendly and we love working with the AUI team.

Just wanted to say that I adore Paulette Lewis at AUI. Any time I have questions, and sometimes it's a lot, she is right there to guide us and help us through any issue. She makes my job (and my life) so much easier. I can't imagine what I would do without her and, hopefully, I will never have to find out.
