People Moves: Michigan Insurance Names Faber Regional VP as Veenstra Retires

Donegal Insurance Group, headquartered in Marietta, Pennsylvania, and its member company, Michigan Insurance Company, promoted Rob Faber to regional vice president of the group’s Greater Midwest region. Faber succeeds Melissa Veenstra, who will retire on July 2.

Faber joined the Donegal team in 2009 as a production underwriter covering an Iowa territory. He transitioned to the marketing side as a business relationship manager in 2012 and was promoted to assistant vice president and regional sales manager for the Midwest region in 2015.

Veenstra’s retirement follows a career of nearly four decades in insurance, including 23 years with Michigan Insurance Company and five years in marketing leadership positions with Donegal, overseeing the more recent combination of Donegal’s Michigan and Midwest regions into the Greater Midwest region in 2024.

Veenstra began her Michigan Insurance Company career in Personal Lines in 2002. In the years since, she held positions in both Personal and Commercial Lines management, before being named a vice president at Michigan Insurance Company in 2012, and later regional vice president for the Donegal Insurance Group in 2021, leading to her promotion to senior regional vice president in 2023. In April, Veenstra was elected to the board of directors for Donegal Group Inc.
