member agencies grow and prosper.”
“This is an exciting time for ANE,” Schenk said. “My focus will be
growth and expansion of the company’s footprint, enhanced resources for
ANE member agencies, increasing organic premium for our carriers and
providing our employees the opportunity to grow personally and
professionally. Insurance is a relationship business and I look forward
to implementing programs that will cultivate opportunities for all of
our core stakeholders.”
Pavese also acknowledged Tiene’s significant contributions to ANE. “John
built ANE into a strong regional network and we appreciate all he has
done for the company and our member agencies. We wish John continued
success in his future endeavors.”
In addition to Schenk’s appointment, Jocelyn Rineer was promoted to
Senior Vice President. Rineer formerly held the position of Vice
President – Field Operations. She will continue to lead field operations
and will assume additional leadership roles at ANE.

helping them grow their revenues and agency values,” added Pavese. “She
will work closely with Elizabeth to structure operations to meet the
demands of our member agencies as we grow our network.”
