This page is introduced with the purpose of informing
present and potential policy holders on some of the happenings
that affect Albany Mutual Insurance Company.
Our annual meeting
was held on March 10th and two major things occurred:
1. A revision of the company articles and by-laws was adopted.
The changes in the articles reflected an increase in the business
territory to include all townships in Morrison County and "Fire" was
dropped from the company name. We are now known as Albany Mutual
Insurance Company.
2. By-law changes removed gender-specific language, made much text
moreunderstandable and updated some rules to be more practical
from the standpoint of modern business practice. The biggest change
requires candidates for election to the board of directors to submit
a brief resume of experience that qualifies them for election.
This information can then be published for the benefit of both
voting members and the candidates. This is important because our
business territory now includes over 130 townships. In order for
all members to have some knowledge of the candidates for directorship
we need to publish brief biographies of their qualifications prior
to our annual meeting.
The
election of directors resulted in two veteran encumbents being
removed (Herman Schaefer - president and George Reber - secretary).
They were replaced by Steve Feldewerd and Jayson Strusz. We thank
Herman and George for their many years of intelligent, faithful
service and welcome Steve and Jayson to the demanding work of directors.
We are initiating a list of members who would be interested in
serving their company either as a board member or as a volunteer
on committees or at functions. From time to time the board of directors
must appoint a director from the membership to fill an unexpired
term and it would be useful to know of people who are willing to
serve. If you are interested in being considered for a board position
or as a volunteer, please let us know. And ladies, remember that
you too are members who are eligible to serve. Many companies are
benefitting from the perspective of women on their boards - we
can also. Contact me at rhmkg@sytekcom.com for information or inquire
at the corporate office.
Wondering about something regarding the company?
Contact a board member for an accurate answer. They can give you
the information you want unless it is business confidential or
it violates personal privacy.
