Ben Rathbun, CEO of Rathbun Insurance, and Jen Bates, Inside Sales Manager, recently enjoyed a great day on the golf course with our partners at Pioneer State Mutual Insurance Company. The outing was more than just a round of golf—it was an opportunity to strengthen the relationships that keep our agency thriving.

As Rathbun Insurance approaches 70 years of service to the Lansing community and beyond, we are reminded that our success has always been rooted in collaboration. As an independent insurance agency, we are uniquely positioned to offer clients a wide range of coverage options, trusted consultation, and personalized solutions. One of the ways we deliver that value is by maintaining strong connections with the carriers we represent—like Pioneer State Mutual.

Carrier partnerships are essential to the independent agency model. They allow us to match clients with the right products, advocate on their behalf, and ensure they receive the best possible service. Events like this help us foster those relationships, ensuring that together we can continue to meet the evolving needs of our clients.

A big thank-you to Pioneer State Mutual for the invitation and the camaraderie. Here’s to many more years of partnership, shared success, and, of course, friendly competition on the links!
