A Letter from the President

Jack Horan began as an agent for the Great West Life Insurance Company in 1948. I doubt he imagined HORAN would grow into four different companies offering employee benefits consulting, wealth management, life insurance and financial planning to thousands of clients in the mid-west region. This is where we are today.

Through 14 presidents, beginning with Harry Truman, and 30% of American history, HORAN has grown and thrived by responding to the needs of our clients. Our 156 employees work diligently each day to provide highquality health care through the bridge of insurance, to help individuals with their goals to accumulate, invest, and ultimately distribute wealth over what will be a long life, and provide those products that protect against living too long, dying too soon, or becoming disabled.

Our magazine celebrates HORAN’s 75th anniversary. We look forward to the next 75 years. Those years will be different, but we intend to provide the same level of service to our clients as we grow across the country. We will be in place as long as people need access to quality health care and wealth accumulation solutions.

A bit of history; in 1948, the Cincinnati Terrace Hilton was one of the first hotels opened after WWII. The Terrace contained iconic pieces of art, some of which are now housed at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

There are pictures of these works in our magazine. In addition, our client, Mike’s Carwash started in 1948 in Indiana. They are celebrating their 75th this year too. Congratulations to Mike Dahm and his family!

The magazine contains interesting articles about our clients, Piqua City Schools, Mike’s Carwash and Metcut. There is an article on retirement planning after the SECURE 2.0 Act. You will find an educational article on long-term care insurance. There is also a fascinating benchmarking report by Carrie Glandorf and her team on pharmacy and plan renewal insights.

I want to take the opportunity, on behalf of all HORAN associates, to thank you for your continued support, business, and encouragement throughout the years. We are honored to serve you and look forward to finding ways to be of greater service in the future.
