She joined the insurance industry with Delmarva Health Plan (DHP), a local Eastern Shore HMO, specializing in health insurance sales to individuals and businesses on the Shore. With the advent of small group reform in Maryland, CareFirst purchased DHP, and Avery Hall expanded into the Easton market with the addition of Whaley and two others. Cindy was Vice President of Avery Hall's Easton office (Avery Hall Employee Benefit Services, Inc.) until April 2009, when she became President, succeeding Richard Prettyman, who retired.
