The organization also recognized Bart Rowland with the E. Starling Holloway Insuror of the Year Award and John Funkhouser with the Be Like Mike Award.

Rowland is the owner of Rowland Insurance in Tompkinsville, Ky. He has been a member of BIG I Ky for 23 years, serving on the Emerging Leader Committee. He also served for 10 years in the Kentucky House of Representatives.

The Be Like Mike Award is named in honor of the late Michael Johnson, who served as BIG I KY’s Emerging Leader chair in 2009 and board chair in 2018.

Funkhouser, who works at Johnson-Pohlmann Insurance Agency in Danville, Ky., was given $1,000 from Arlington Roe to donate to the charity of his choice as part of the award. He donated the funds to Heart of Kentucky United Way.

“Like Mike, John is bigger than life,” Yount said. “He throws himself at whatever he gets involved in – whether that’s his business, his personal life, his friends or his outside interests. John never fails to show up. He is the hardest worker I know, loves the association and does so much for so many people inside and outside of the industry and his community.”
