Conrade Insurance Group is pleased to announce that Krueger Insurance Management, another insurance agency with deep roots in Newton, will merge with Conrade Insurance Group on January 1, 2025. The agencies look forward to continuing to provide exceptional service and will use their combined expertise and resources to serve clients and the community even better.
Casie Powell, the owner of Krueger Insurance, will join Conrade Insurance as an owner and a core member of the leadership team.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Casie join us as a partner. She is a consummate insurance professional and an extremely well-respected business leader in the community,” said Chris Conrade. “We are excited for the future of our business and the greater impact we will be able to have in Newton and beyond.”
Casie joined Krueger Insurance in 1997, working beside her mentor, Brady Krueger, before purchasing the agency from him in 2017. Many in the community know Casie Powell from her involvement in several organizations including as the past president of the Newton Chamber of Commerce, a member of the board at NMC Health, and the organizer of the annual Cookie Daze 5k race benefiting Newton non-profit organizations.
“The plan was to continue to operate the agency as Krueger Insurance for many years to come, and we were well-positioned to do so with an amazing team and great customers,” said Casie Powell. “After lots of consideration, I realized that bringing our agencies together would not only be an incredible opportunity for my team but would also benefit our clients and the communities we serve. The values of Conrade Insurance Group align so closely with our beliefs and how we operate our agency, this merger just makes sense for both agencies.”
Conrade Insurance has a longstanding presence in Newton, having been founded in 2006 by Darrell Conrade. Conrade Insurance Group boasts extensive knowledge and specialty focus in several verticals, including healthcare, non-profit, public entity, manufacturing, & construction, along with their rich history in personal lines, farms, small commercial, and life insurance. The agency has grown to nearly 50 employees, recently expanding into employee benefits and opening a Wichita location.
Together, Conrade Insurance Group and Krueger Insurance Management will embark on this new chapter, utilizing their collective knowledge and assets to provide unparalleled service to their clients and the Newton area.
