MEET THE BENEFITS TEAM
A note for Gheen Irrigation from your Team Haugen Property and Casualty team.
MEET THE BENEFITS TEAMDear Robert,
Thank you for thinking of Team Haugen as you consider bringing your Employee Benefits in-house. We have valued our partnership with Gheen Irrigation and the trust you have placed in us on the Property and Casualty side, and we would welcome the chance to extend that same level of service to your benefits program.
Consolidating your coverage with one team means one point of contact and one relationship built on the same trust we have brought to your account. A seamless transition, not a disruption.
Before we connect, we wanted to introduce you to the two people who would lead that work.
One team placing and servicing both halves of the program, so a question about a benefits renewal and a question about a certificate of insurance reach the same people.
Nothing about the Property and Casualty relationship changes. The benefits work is added to it, on the same account plan and the same calendar.
Team Haugen has written your Property and Casualty program, so a benefits conversation does not start with a discovery call about who you are and what you build.
Gheen manufactures steel irrigation fittings, which means a benefits program here has to fit a manufacturing workforce rather than an office one. Plan design, enrollment, and communication all look different on a shop floor than they do behind a desk.
Eugene and Harrisburg operate as one workforce for benefits purposes. One plan, one enrollment cycle, and one set of questions from employees in two places, handled by a team that already knows both.
A family-owned company in its fourth generation under Robert D. Gheen does not think in single renewal cycles. Grit, vision, and legacy are your words, and a benefits program built on that footing is designed for retention over decades rather than a number that changes every year.
Bringing Employee Benefits in-house is not adding a vendor. It is putting both halves of your program in the same room.
Team Haugen already knows Gheen's business, your risk profile, and your people. Bringing benefits in-house means the benefits advisors inherit that context instead of rebuilding it.
Coordination between the Property and Casualty and Employee Benefits advisors on the same account means fewer gaps between programs, faster renewals, and one relationship to manage instead of two vendors.
Samantha Bradley and Michael Barclay are established Employee Benefits producers at HUB. This is a full-strength benefits practice, not a lesser add-on service attached to a property and casualty account.
The case for consolidating is not that you should buy something else. It is that the work gets better when the people doing it are on the same account plan.

Two established Employee Benefits producers at HUB who would lead the benefits side of the Gheen relationship.
Senior Vice President, Employee Benefits
More than twelve years in the employee benefits industry, helping employers build long-term, sustainable benefits programs. Certified Employee Benefit Specialist. Named a 2023 Employee Benefits Power Broker by Risk and Insurance for a data-driven, proactive approach to strategy, helping clients get ahead of cost drivers rather than reacting after the fact.
What she brings: a clear, forward-looking plan for where a benefits program is headed, not just a once-a-year renewal conversation.
Vice President, Employee Benefits
Over a decade of experience in employee benefits, based in Eugene. Works closely with Oregon and Southwest Washington employers navigating rising renewals, helping them separate real strategy from a reaction to a number, including level-funded and self-funded options and efficiency opportunities inside an existing plan structure.
What he brings: a straightforward, numbers-first sounding board for benefits decisions, especially useful for a client watching costs closely.
HUB International is the fifth largest global insurance and employee benefits broker, with more than 14,000 employees across more than 500 offices in North America.
