Michael Crowley, President of the Company, to the new position of President and Chief Operating Officer. The promotion was made expressly contingent on the approval of a compensation package for Mr. Crowley by the Human Resources &amp; Compensation Committee of the Board (the &#147;Committee&#148;) and Mr. Crowley&#146;s acceptance of the position and compensation package. Mr. Crowley, 56, has been President of the Company since September 2005. He was Executive Vice President, National Director for Property and Casualty from 2004 to 2005. Prior thereto, he was Vice Chairman of Palmer&nbsp;&amp; Cay, Inc. from 2002 to 2004 and President and Chief Operating Officer of
Palmer&nbsp;&amp; Cay, Inc. from 1998 to 2002.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>On May 23, 2008, the Committee approved modifications to the compensatory arrangement of Mr. Crowley in recognition of his promotion to President and Chief Operating Officer and subject to his acceptance of the position. Specifically, the Committee approved an increase in Mr. Crowley&#146;s base salary from $460,000 to $550,000. Mr. Crowley was also granted 2,000 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 6,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $31.20, the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on May 23, 2008. The equity awards were made by the Committee pursuant to the Company&#146;s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock vests in 25% increments over a five year period, provided that certain operating performance goals of the Company are achieved. If the performance goals are met, the first 25% of the award will vest
two years from the date of the award, with the remainder of the award vesting in 25% increments each year thereafter.  The stock options vest in 25% increments over a four year period from the date of the award and expire after seven years.  In addition, the Committee approved an additional cash contribution to Mr. Crowley&#146;s Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan account for 2008 in the amount of $48,480.</font></p>

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(c)        On May 6, 2008 the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Hilb Rogal & Hobbs Company (the "Company") approved the promotion of F. Michael Crowley, President of the Company, to the new position of President and Chief Operating Officer. The promotion was made expressly contingent on the approval of a compensation package for Mr. Crowley by the Human Resources & Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") and Mr. Crowley's acceptance of the position and compensation package. Mr. Crowley, 56, has been President of the Company since September 2005. He was Executive Vice President, National Director for Property and Casualty from 2004 to 2005. Prior thereto, he was Vice Chairman of Palmer & Cay, Inc. from 2002 to 2004 and President and Chief Operating Officer of
Palmer & Cay, Inc. from 1998 to 2002.
On May 23, 2008, the Committee approved modifications to the compensatory arrangement of Mr. Crowley in recognition of his promotion to President and Chief Operating Officer and subject to his acceptance of the position. Specifically, the Committee approved an increase in Mr. Crowley's base salary from $460,000 to $550,000. Mr. Crowley was also granted 2,000 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 6,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $31.20, the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on May 23, 2008. The equity awards were made by the Committee pursuant to the Company's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock vests in 25% increments over a five year period, provided that certain operating performance goals of the Company are achieved. If the performance goals are met, the first 25% of the award will vest
two years from the date of the award, with the remainder of the award vesting in 25% increments each year thereafter.  The stock options vest in 25% increments over a four year period from the date of the award and expire after seven years.  In addition, the Committee approved an additional cash contribution to Mr. Crowley's Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan account for 2008 in the amount of $48,480.
On May 29, 2008, Mr. Crowley accepted, effective immediately, the position of President and Chief Operating Officer and the compensation package approved by the Committee.
The full text of the Company's June 4, 2008 press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Crowley as President and Chief Operating Officer is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
