Annual Meeting: April 21, 2004

Nominations Sought for Board Membership

ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, April 21, 2004, at its Chicago headquarters. At that time, seven members of the ISMIE Board will be elected by a majority vote of the members represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy.

The ISMIE Mutual Board has general supervision over the finances of ISMIE and of its operations, and establishes all policies governing the proper transaction and conduct of the business and affairs of ISMIE.

Any member of ISMIE interested in serving as a board member should so notify by providing a 150-word statement of interest and a current curriculum vitae to:

Harold L. Jensen, M.D.
Chairman of the Board
ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company
20 North Michigan Ave. Suite 700
Chicago, IL 60602

Two other ISMIE policyholders must second each candidacy request in writing. An ISMIE member may second nominations for up to seven separate and individual Board candidates. All curriculum vitae and written seconds must be received at the ISMIE office on or before December 15, 2003.

All candidate submissions will be reviewed by ISMIE's Nominating Committee, which shall then provide a recommended slate of nominees. Any candidate not being ecommended by the Nominating Committee will be so advised and may elect to be placed on the ballot as an independent candidate.
