Maichel has been on SDAHU’s Board of Directors for the past four years, is a past President of the association, and currently sits on the Board of Directors.

“SDAHU is a great resource for local brokers. As an advocate of the broker community, I can’t think of a better way to support local agents than being an active participant in this terrific organization,” said Michael upon receiving the award. “I am very honored to win the award and grateful for the opportunity to support local brokers and their clients through the products and services AmCheck provides.”

One of SDAHU’s goals is to influence legislation and promote fair and ethical business practices through the Association of Health and Disability Insurance Professionals.

With that in mind, shortly after receiving the award, Maichel was on a plane to Washington, D.C. with SDAHU delegates. Their mission was to lobby legislators on behalf of local brokers and employers for improvements to the Affordable Car Act.

“Being a delegate for SDAHU and meeting with our local Congressman and Senators is an important part of how AmCheck supports our local broker community,” Maichel stated.

Scott Maichel

I’ve been in the Payroll and HR business since 1992 and currently I'm the Managing Partner with AmCheck San Diego, a local boutique Payroll-HR services firm focused on helping small to mid-sized employers. Since co-founding the AmCheck San Diego office in 2006 I have worked closely with hundreds of employers in the San Diego community. My experience has enabled me to develop a unique service offering for employers that help them minimize the transactional aspects of their job so they can focus on the tasks they enjoy – like leaving the office at 5 o’clock occasionally! I pioneered several unique offerings in my industry like the AmCheck employment attorney hotline, the PEO transparency analysis and the AmCheck college scholarship program - which helps our clients attract and retain good employees. I’m an advocate for the San Diego broker community. I’ve been a Board member of the San Diego Association of Health Underwriters (SDAHU) since 2012, I served as past President and currently serve as the VP of Membership. Since 2006, I’ve been a frequent public speaker and educator for the broker community in helping them level the playing field when competing against PEO’s or payroll companies that offer work comp and benefits. I have traveled to Washington D.C. on 3 separate occasions to lobby on behalf of benefit brokers to increase broker commissions and make the ACA easier for brokers and employers. My personal interests include supporting several Autism focused organizations including; Autism Speaks, The Autism Walk, The Music Therapy Center of California and Banding Together. I enjoy running, architecture and I’m a huge Chicago Cubs fan.
