We are thrilled to share a significant milestone in Rathbun Insurance history: effective April 1, 2025, Laura Stoken will become President and Partner of Rathbun Insurance.

Laura joined our agency in 2023 as Chief Operating Officer, bringing with her a dynamic mix of leadership, strategic vision, and operational expertise. Over the past two years, she has led with clarity and compassion—leading Human Resources, Marketing and Communications, and the implementation of key agency goals. Her ability to navigate change while uniting our team around shared purpose has been instrumental in driving our mission forward.

Laura came to Rathbun Insurance following her tenure as Director of Administration at Public Sector Consultants, a respected nonpartisan

public policy firm in Lansing. There, she managed HR, facilities, and technology with the same dedication and precision that have become her hallmark here. Her professional background also includes impactful public service as manager of the constituent relations division for Governor Rick Snyder’s Executive Office.

Laura holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and a Human Resource Management Certificate from the University of Phoenix. She is a champion of service and community, serving on the City of Lansing’s Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority Board, the Capital Area Michigan Works Workforce Development Board, and is a sustaining member of the Junior League of Lansing.

Laura lives in Holt with her husband, Jason, and their two children, Brennan and Savannah. As she steps into this new role, her commitment to "Being There Matters Most" will continue to shape how we serve our clients, support our employees, and show up for our community.

Please join us in congratulating Laura on this exciting new chapter!
