MOLINE, IL (January 20, 2026) – IHMVCU is proud to announce that Lindsey Baxter, Senior Insurance Sales Agent with IHMVCU Insurance Services, has earned the 2025 Safeco Insurance Award of Excellence, one of the highest honors available to Safeco independent agents nationwide.

This prestigious underwriting award recognizes agents who consistently demonstrate exceptional expertise, accuracy, and customer-focused service. Fewer than 1% of agents who sell Safeco personal lines policies receive this distinction each year, placing Baxter among the top-performing insurance professionals in the country.

“This award is about more than numbers; it’s about understanding people, their lives, and what truly protects them,” said Andy Grothe, Senior Vice President of Indirect, Insurance Services, and Investment Services at IHMVCU. “Lindsey brings that level of care and expertise to every conversation. She works tirelessly to ensure members have the right coverage at the right value, and this recognition demonstrates the impact she makes every day.”

Baxter has been part of the IHMVCU team for more than five years and works closely with Safeco underwriting partners to tailor coverage solutions that meet each member’s unique needs. Her collaborative approach and attention to detail help ensure policies are thoughtfully designed, competitively priced, and built for real life.

“As an independent agent, my role is to help people feel confident and informed about their insurance choices,” said Baxter. “Having access to multiple carriers and a strong partnership with Safeco allows me to advocate for our members and make sure they’re protected in the ways that matter most. I’m incredibly proud to receive this recognition.”
