Frankenmuth Insurance is pleased to announce the appointment of Gretchen Hopp Doyle as Agency Council chairperson, as well as the addition of Jason Griffith of The Norton Agency to its Agency Council.
Gretchen has been in the insurance business for more than 20 years and has served on the Agency Council since 2015. She operates Baker-Hopp & Associates, located in Harper Woods, Michigan. Gretchen succeeds immediate past-chair Bill St. Charles as Agency Council chairperson and looks forward to connecting ideas with needs for Frankenmuth Insurance.
Jason is the president of commercial lines at The Norton Agency located in Gainesville, Georgia. He has been in the insurance industry for more than 20 years after opening his first agency in 1997. In 2009, he and his partners joined The Norton Agency, and today they manage 15 offices across northern Georgia and upstate South Carolina. Jason believes that one of the biggest challenges in the insurance industry today is agency perpetuation and continued growth.
