Ron Hallenbeck, who served as president of EMC Reinsurance Company for nearly 22 years, has retired and Vicki Freese, EMC Reinsurance's assistant reinsurance manager, has been named president of EMC Reinsurance.
“While Ron's leadership and expertise will be missed, I'm certain this will be a seamless transition,” stated Bruce G. Kelley, the president and chief executive officer of EMC Insurance Companies. “Vicki is wellknown to our brokers and ceding companies with which she enjoys longstanding relationships, and she will continue EMC Re's tradition of superior customer service and support.”
Ms. Freese has been with EMC for nearly 40 years and in reinsurance for about 30 of those. She has reinsurance underwriting expertise on domestic and international reinsurance programs and on all lines of business.
She completed her bachelor's degree in accounting in 1997 from Simpson College and earned her CPCU and ARe designations.
Ms. Freese will continue to serve on the board of directors of EMC Re in her new role.
