“I have had the privilege of working with Ed for all of his 19 years at Acuity,” said Ben Salzmann, ACUITY President and CEO. “He has been instrumental in guiding the success of our efforts in personal lines and marketing during a period of time in which Acuity has grown five-fold in written premium and more than doubled our geographic footprint.”

On January 12, Acuity's board of directors unanimously passed a resolution commending Felchner for his service to Acuity and his highly successful contributions that have driven Acuity to new levels of performance.

Felchner’s career in insurance spanned nearly 50 years. At the age of 16, he began working in his uncle’s insurance agency, and he has held numerous positions in the industry over the years. His executive leadership roles prior to Acuity included Vice President - Insurance Operations for Armed Forces Insurance Exchange, Vice President and Chief Underwriting Officer of the Millers National Insurance Group, and Vice President - Corporate Development, Vice President - Personal Lines, and Vice President - Marketing at Omaha Property and Casualty (OPAC).
