Farmers Mutual Insurance Board of Directors
The Board of Directors at Farmers Mutual Insurance is the foundational force behind the strength of our company. We currently have an 8-member board that meets quarterly to set the direction for the company.
Many different backgrounds and skills are represented on our board along with diversity in age and experience. Each one of our board members has achieved their Farm Mutual Director Certification from the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC).
This designation is proof that they take the governance of the company seriously and are well educated on how to carry out that responsibility.
