Downeast Insurance’s Stacy Johansen

Downeast Insurance, LLC is pleased to announce that Stacy Johansen has been appointed as the agency’s new President.  Johansen holds over 14 years of experience in the insurance industry with nearly 13 years at Downeast Insurance. Previous work experience includes working as a Vice President, Operations Director, and Quality Control Manager all at Downeast Insurance.

Johansen is a leader in the insurance industry with many connections across the state and nation. She holds a Certified Insurance Counselor designation from the National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research. She also is the President of the Maine Chapter of the Applied Client Network.

A graduate of Mt. Ararat High School, Johansen holds a bachelor’s degree from Gordon College in Communications. She began her insurance career as a Customer Service Representative at a community agency in Bowdoinham directly out of college and after obtaining her license, was recruited to Downeast Insurance in November of 2007.

“Stacy’s industry expertise, experience and dedication to our clients make her the perfect fit to lead Downeast Insurance into the future as the agency’s new President,” said outgoing Downeast Insurance President Melanie Munsey. “Both our team members and clients are fortunate to have her in this role.”

Munsey leaves Downeast Insurance after 13 years with the agency to begin an early retirement with her husband Doug and pets in Portland, Maine. She will remain on board in an advisory role at Downeast for the next few months.

Johansen is eager to start her new role as President and looks forward to continuing her efforts in serving the members of Downeast Credit Union and the local communities.
