By the time you get this, the holiday season will be over and I hope you enjoyed it with your family. At the same time, you’re already busy with 2016 business activities. We at MTMIC, are in that same situation. As quickly as possible we are closing out the financial numbers for December 31, while also working on business issues for 2016. I expect that the next newsletter will have a first indication of the actuarial and claims numbers from 2015. These numbers will presented to the Board of Directors in February for Member Dividend declaration.
For this newsletter, it seemed like a good time to reintroduce three key contacts at MTMIC. One of the hazards as President of doing this, is you can never only pick three. I will address more staff in a future newsletter. But for this newsletter, let me start the staff introduction process. The first is Glenda Moyle. Glenda is our Premium Accounting Manager and also handles the endorsements and certificates of insurance. Many of you have known Glenda for many, many years. I have to say our company personnel records from 30+ years ago are not that accurate. Glenda has been with us somewhere north of 35 years and is the encyclopedia of MTMIC. Any premium or endorsement questions, Glenda is the key player. What you may not know, is that Glenda is also the MTMIC Corporate Secretary. She covers lots of territory.
The next contact is Megan Brown. Megan is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. When a question comes up about premium or renewal, Megan is often the contact. She has been with the company for nine years and is one of our high energy players. I should also note, she is a long distance runner. If there is something I’ve learned about long distance runners, is that they only succeed because they are determined and focused. Running 26 miles requires that. For those who know Megan, you know she brings those attributes to MTMIC.
Third, Donna Motley. Donna is our Vice President of Claims and has been with MTMIC for over twenty years. Add on from her prior experience that she had an additional 15 years of workers comp claims experience before joining MTMIC. For those of you that know Donna, you’ll find that she is focused on results and a terrific negotiator. She loves manhandling claims. Every dollar she spends, she treats it like her own, and that is exactly what we want for our MTMIC members. Her business approach she pushes to her entire claims team.
The brief introduction of these three sure does not overlook our field Loss Control team which are seen on a daily basis. I will cover them in a future newsletter. We are very proud of the MTMIC team and that the results that they get for our member owners. We would not have a dividend program without a joint effort of members who are focused on loss control and an insurance team that takes that member focus and turns it into positive insurance results.
Best wishes for 2016.
