Following the unanimous Board vote, Mr. Farrell takes over as Chairman immediately saying, "I am very thankful to my colleagues who place their faith in me to lead Ringler. President and CEO, Geoff Hunt is putting the finishing touches on his management team and we are positioned to be even stronger as a leading firm in our industry. My heartfelt thanks to Ross for all he's done for us and supporting me in succeeding him as Chairman. Ross' thought leadership and decision-making have positioned us to be the $2 billion gross premium firm we are today."
Mr. Duncan has served as Ringler's Chairman since 2012. He has been a Board member since 2003 and joined Ringler in 1984. President and CEO, Geoffrey E. Hunt notes, "Ross has provided steady and caring leadership as Chairman and that is deeply appreciated across the Ringler organization."

We have so many exciting initiatives underway supporting the recent rebranding of our firm and it is appropriate to turn the helm over to the next generation. I couldn't think of a better leader for the next chapters of Ringler than Brian."
