Veteran financial representative retires but keeps business in the family

[April 07, 2015]  LINCOLN - Country Financial is excited to celebrate the transition from one generation of excellent service to the next as Financial Representative Charlie Williams passes the torch to his daughter, Lincoln City Alderman Michelle Bauer.

Williams has served the Lincoln community as a financial representative for 14 years and has been with Country Financial for more than 40 years. As he prepares to retire in July, Williams is keeping it in the family and entrusting the business to Bauer.

Alderman Bauer joined Country Financial looking forward to serving her customers. Michelle has a long track record of working with her community and is involved with several local organizations, including leadership positions in Rotary, Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary and the Young Professional Network.

Williams has mentored his daughter for years, and Bauer considers it a gift to work alongside her father. “He has dedicated 43 years to the company and I now get to use my time with him to gain insight and knowledge as well as continue to build on the relationships he has started,” Bauer said.

The Lincoln and Logan County Chamber of Commerce will welcome Bauer as it honors Williams during a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4:00 p.m. on April 16 at the COUNTRY Financial Office at 120 S. McLean St. in Lincoln with an open house to immediately follow.
