Property and casualty insurer Economical Insurance has named John Bowey as its board vice-chair.

Also, Barbara Fraser has joined the company’s board, which brings the total number of directors to 10.

The company’s board chair, Gerald Hooper, says Bowey’s appointment is part of the company’s ongoing “succession planning and renewal process.”

For Fraser’s part, she retired from the global senior management team at American Express in 2007. She’s since served on the boards of a broad range of organizations.
