Leith Dist

Account Executive
The Parker Group Pacific-NW Region

Leith came on board with The Parker Group/CBSolutions in 2008 and brought with her a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organization.

She started her career as a medical assistant and remained in the field for 13 years until making the decision to venture into the insurance business. She began her insurance career as a medical claims processor for Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon and then became a Certified Workers Compensation adjudicator for Safeway Stores, Inc.

During the 1980s there was a restructuring of Oregon Workers Compensation and with that came MCOs in Oregon for employers. Providence Health Plans of Oregon played an integral part in providing Workers Compensation MCOs for employers of which Leith was hired on the ground floor of this program to service their clients. One of her clients was Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation (Tri-Met) of which recruited her as their Benefits Administrator to handle return to work, wellness, employee benefits programs, and LTD self funded claims adjudication, and FMLA/OFLA administration. During her time at Tri-Met while working full time, she returned to Washington State University for certification in Human Resource Management. Leith enjoyed a rewarding career with Tri-Met working with employees, and benefit consultants for Tri-Met during her 8 years of employment.

Upon leaving Tri-Met in 1999, Leith accepted a position with ODS Health Plans and managed the Flexible Spending Account department for two years until 9/11 occurred at which time she decided to strike out on her own to secure her agent insurance license in Washington and Oregon, marketing to individuals, groups, and voluntary benefits.

Leith is currently an Account Executive with The Parker Group Pacific Northwest Region, formerly known as CBSolutions.
