Mutual Reinsurance Bureau Announces Selection of New Chief Executive Officer
The Board of Directors of Mutual Reinsurance Bureau (MRB) is pleased to announce the appointment of John W. Meyers III, CPCU, ARe, AU, AIS, as the company’s next president and chief executive officer. Meyers will succeed Timothy Dorr, current president and chief executive officer, upon his retirement next year from the Illinois-based joint reinsurance association. The search was conducted by the executive search and selection practice of The Jacobson Group. Margaret Resce Milkint, managing partner, led this successful engagement.
“John demonstrates the unique combination of relationship-building and underwriting skills that are invaluable to MRB’s clients,” said Susan Haack, chair of the MRB Board of Directors and the search committee. “His vision for the future of MRB is an exciting one, and we expect our current and future clients and business partners will benefit greatly. John and the MRB team will continue to build on our rich legacy and respected brand in the mutual insurance community.”
“I am delighted that John has agreed to join us and lead MRB into our second century of providing the best in security and service to our clients,” shared Dorr. “I look forward to working closely with him in the coming months as we execute a smooth and seamless transition.”
Meyers most recently served as vice president of treaty underwriting at Safety National Reinsurance. He brings more than 25 years of insurance industry underwriting experience, with recent tenures at Maiden Reinsurance and PMA Reinsurance. Meyers served in the United States Army Reserve for eight years during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, where he earned the Army Commendation Medal for management and motivational skills. He has also been heavily involved in his community as a part of the Berlin Community School Home Association, a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and Burlington County Social Services, and a past member of the Berlin Community School Board.
Meyers has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from LaSalle University and a Master of Business Administration in Risk Management from Olivet College, where he served as an associate adjunct professor. He also holds Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter, Associate in Reinsurance, Associate in Commercial Underwriting, and Associate in Insurance Services designations. Meyers and his wife, June, have four children.
“John’s appointment as president & CEO marks an exciting new chapter in MRB’s history and growth agenda,” said Milkint. “He embodies the deep industry know-how, mutual company values and servant leadership style that have been hallmarks of MRB’s success.”
