A Look Back at 2019 Accomplishments L
ast year was another success for Rural Mutual Insurance. Rural Mutual celebrated 85 years of providing insurance services in Wisconsin. Staff took a moment to reflect on how far the company has come, the association partnerships that have developed and the continuous financial strength. Rural Mutual started the second decade of being selected as a Ward’s Top 50® Performer. For the 11th consecutive year, Rural Mutual has been recognized by The Ward Group, the leading provider of operational and compensation benchmarking and best practices studies for the insurance industry. Upon Peter Pelizza’s retirement, Dan Merk moved into the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. Rural Mutual made a monumental commitment to Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s centennial campaign as they aimed to raise $100,000 for agricultural education and leadership programs. Rural Mutual committed to matching all donations ($1-10,000) up to the $100,000. For the third year in a row, Rural Mutual paid a 5 percent farm dividend, rewarding Wisconsin farmers. Rural Mutual was a first-time sponsor of the Wisconsin State Fair, the state’s largest agricultural showcase and family entertainment park, and it’s supporting events including the Cream Puff 5K and Harvest Fair. Rural Mutual once again took a concentrated effort in promoting safety around the farm, businesses and home. Staff highlighted safety presentations in high school agriculture classes, community safety days and at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days. Protecting the people of Wisconsin and what’s important to them continues to be an important focus. For the 54th year, the company has sponsored the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association/Rural Mutual Sportsmanship Award and launched the sportsmanship matters campaign. Thank you to Rural Mutual’s partners and policyholders who continue to put trust in the company’s knowledge and experience. FEBRUARY | MARCH 2020
