It's hard to sum up almost 28 years with our family but this week we said adieu and thank you to Karen Hardin in her retirement from our agency. Karen Hardin has supported several producers during her tenure with us, and has been a member of our growing Transportation Department during most of her time with us. Karen has contributed in many valuable ways to our agency over the years. To name just a few, she has been instrumental in developing strong relationships with her clients, which resulted in strong client retention. She has also mentored and trained several of our newer employees who were just getting started in their insurance career. While Karen’s work-related contributions have definitely been appreciated and will be missed, we will miss her cheerful disposition and her contagious laugh as much as anything, as she has become a great friend to so many of us here. Please join us in wishing Karen the very best in her upcoming and well-deserved retirement.

Having been proudly integrated into the Higginbotham family for the past three years, we are now entering a new phase in our journey. To stay informed with the latest updates, news, and insights, we encourage you to follow Higginbotham on all of our social media channels.
