Freda Bacon & Jean Lorino
Freda Bacon, Administrator of the Fund
Jean Lorino, Chief Financial Officer
Companies rely on their workforce to make them successful, and for almost 40 years companies in Alabama have relied on the Alabama Self-Insured Worker’s Compensation Fund to provide a foundation on which to build that success.
Freda Bacon, administrator of the Fund and Jean Lorino, chief financial officer, have managed the operation of this successful provider of worker’s compensation for over 30 years.
The key to the Fund’s success has been its customer service. Starting out with only three employees, Jean and Freda have maintained the priority of a team approach. “We grew as the Fund grew, ” says Bacon. “Many of our employees have been here for over 20 years and have played an important part in the success of the operation.”
“As technology has developed and grown, we have adapted and improved our operations to deal with that growth, ” says Lorino.
They both stated, “There are very few self-insured group funds in the country that are managed by women, and we realized very early that standards for our company operations needed to always be at a higher level of both integrity and vision. It has been an honor to serve Alabama’s business community for all these years.”

Rolin Construction was founded on Southern values and honesty, striving to build long-term partnerships based on integrity and merit. The company takes pride in the owner’s Native American heritage and have a well-established reputation for safety, honesty, integrity and a highly skilled construction team. Those factors have helped Rolin build a strong record while tackling some of the Gulf Coast region’s larger projects. Completed in early 2016, The Wind Creek B.B. King Club Hotel and Casino, a $49 million project in Montgomery, for instance, displays 65, 000 square feet of gaming space modeled after Memphis’ famous Beale Street. Rolin currently has several projects under construction including a Townplace Suites Marriot ($16 million), Child Youth and Development Center ($15 million), a major renovation for the Environmental Protection Agency ($7 million) — all showcasing a fierce commitment to detail and quality for a diverse array of clients.
Established in 2005, Rolin’s vision was to become one of the premiere contractors along the Gulf Coast, setting a benchmark for other construction organizations; offering quality, cost-effective construction services, impressing customers every time, adapting easily, and providing supervisory oversight in a transparent environment. Our hand-selected team is the foundation of this vision. Rolin’s construction professionals have a sense of teamwork and value each other’s experience and input — they focus on lessons learned and not repeating mistakes. We believe deeply in investing in our employees, and this philosophy has returned large dividends in our staffs’ dedication and cost control for our clients, said Vice President Stephanie Rolin. “To do this, while constructing over $30 million in construction projects annually through the committed devotion of our employees, is extremely satisfying … We truly believe in giving back to our employees, the communities we build in and our tribe.”
