GuideOne Chair Announces Retirement

At a special all-employee meeting at GuideOne Insurance earlier this month, Darryl D. Hansen, chair, president and chief executive, announced he would retire from the company in February. February of 2002 that is.

When Hansen accepted his position at GuideOne in 1996, he agreed to help the company achieve specific business objectives that were approved by the board of directors. Since that time, many of these objectives have been reached. GuideOne has already begun its search for Hansen’s successor, considering both internal and external candidates. Also, an independent search firm will be retained to assist the board in making its selection.
