Biggest Challenge Facing PCH Mutual

“PCH serves over 1,500 business owners in the elder and adult care sector. Our biggest challenge is to conduct regular, proactive dialogue with our member insureds. This includes engagement regarding our risk management tools, as well as our aligned goals of supporting their efforts to best serve residents.”

Biggest Challenge Facing the RRG Industry

“Stability, because we serve specific industries, some of which are undergoing major transitions (i.e. transportation). RRGs operate within thinner margins than traditional commercial carriers, so we are more susceptible to financial inflection points.”

Life Situation

Julie lives in Evanston, Illinois, with Tony, her husband of 33 years. Their two sons graduated from Macalester College and are pursuing careers in technology.

Spare Time

“I dedicate much of my spare time to cultivating my personal relationships. I’m outside as much as possible, walking, running, or biking, mostly with my husband or friends. I love to cook, travel, read, write, and think.”

Charitable Work

Volunteer Congressional Leader for The ONE Campaign, which advocates in the fight against extreme global poverty and preventable disease.

Proudest Accomplishment

“Personally, my family — and specifically the fact that we simply love being together. Professionally, the journey from my solo law practice to being President of PCH.”
