We are aware of the key role played by insurance, more so as we face increasing events of extreme weather destruction. Government agencies are signaling policy and coverage shifts, and there is a growing realization that existing policies and programs are not adequate to the new realities. Insurance is fundamental yet largely invisible until it is not there, and may be the driving force toward necessary change for the future.

It's impacting the Upper Midwest and if you are a rural resident in possession of an insurance policy from your local county mutual insurance cooperative, you have cause to be worried. Very worried.

This week on The Legacy Life we are talking to Megan McHugh, AVP on the Assumed Reinsurance team at Brandywine Group of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies. Only a few of our guests have had linear career paths, and Megan is certainly not one of them. During our conversation she explains how she left the reinsurance industry to raise her children and then successfully reentered the industry thirteen years later. Going back into reinsurance after so many years was daunting, but she did it. Megan credits her support system at home and thanks many of the people who gave her a chance or helped her along the way.
