"Our company has been served incredibly well under the guidance of Jeff Lane, and we will always be grateful to him for his outstanding contributions. Paula joins us as we move forward in a new era for MGIC, strengthening our leadership position in the industry while maintaining the prudence and Midwestern values that we are known for.
