Meemic Insurance Company, a Michigan-based insurance provider offering personal auto, homeowners, and umbrella coverage to teachers and other educational employees, announced recently that the Hagen Agency, of Niles, has been recognized as a 2014 President’s Circle of Honor recipient.

This designation is the highest acknowledgment within the company and has been awarded to select agencies that have achieved the uppermost sales and service achievements.

The awards were announced at Meemic Insurance Company’s 2014 Sales Banquet on Feb. 20, 2015 where 19 agents across Meemic’s three-state area (Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois) were recognized and inducted into the elite group of recipients. Agency principals Dean and Barb Hagen and staff were congratulated and given the agency award by Steve Monahan, Meemic president and CEO in front of 200 peers at the honorary banquet.

“This is one of the greatest times of the year,” Monahan said. “It is an honor to give out such an esteemed recognition to successful agencies that continue to positively impact the educational community. This is our way of showcasing our support and gratitude for the work the agencies do on a daily basis, work we appreciate and are truly grateful for. Congratulations.”
