Shelter Insurance president and chief executive officer Rockne Corbin will join host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday at 7 am on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable” program. Mid-Missouri’s Columbia and Pilot Grove have seen tornadoes this spring, and there have been numerous tornadoes and storms across the state. This past Friday, there was a horrific deadly EF-3 tornado in St. Louis.

Shelter Insurance has about 1,300 employees in Columbia/Boone County: the payroll at their Columbia headquarters is about $98-million. Mr. Corbin has been president for about a year.

Mr. Parry and President Corbin will also discuss a few lighter subjects like the upcoming Shelter Fountain celebration and the return of the concerts in the gardens. Those concerts ran for 43 seasons until the COVID pandemic. The concerts returned last Sunday after a five-year hiatus.
