Younger, a managing director in Crawford & Company's U.S. Property & Casualty segment, has been elected president of the Inland Empire Claims Association (IECA). The IECA is one of the largest claims associations in the United States, promoting both professionalism in the insurance industry and significant philanthropic work in southern California, where Younger is based. "This achievement is a strong endorsement of Rick's efforts and commitment to the claims industry," said Philip Porter, senior vice president, U.S. Property & Casualty. "We are proud to have him representing Crawford in this position." Younger joined Crawford in 1990 as a casualty adjuster and later was promoted to a supervisory position. He then served as manager in two California branches for 12 years and was appointed to his current position in January.

In his current term, he plans to focus on offering continuing education credits and relaunching the organization's Web site.
