John Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lawson-Hawks Insurance Associates, Inc., said of the acquisition, “We are genuinely excited about the addition of the historic Truckee Insurance Agency to the Lawson-Hawks family. While we have built a substantial client base both in Sacramento and east of the Capital city, we are absolutely delighted to have the physical presence in the Truckee, Greater Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada areas that this acquisition affords us. The assimilation of the very experienced and professional staff in the Truckee office as well as the addition of an eminent career insurance professional like Bill Hanson is, from our perspective, simply kismet.”

Bill Hanson, the tenured manager of the Truckee Insurance Agency, said of the acquisition, “We’re excited about the fit that Lawson-Hawks provides. This partnership permits us to substantially expand the depth of both our marketing to new prospective clients and servicing of existing client relationships. With Lawson-Hawks, we expect to become the dominant insurance brokerage in the Sierra. We have taken this opportunity to put together an absolutely first-class servicing team, including the return of Irene Brown, who will manage our commercial lines department here in Truckee with Allyson Givens as her Assistant Account Manager. We also are pleased to be able to continue to serve our private clients for homeowners, auto and other personal insurance needs with our long-time associate, Private Client Senior Account Manager Shari Wade. Additionally, Lawson-Hawks will open a Reno, Nevada office so that we can effectively and efficiently bring our services into the Nevada marketplace. Jennifer Pyle and Linda Eastman will focus on Employee Benefits sales and services, respectively, in the Reno office as well as in the Greater Truckee area.”
