ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company will hold its next Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 13, 2005. At that time a majority of ISMIE Mutual policyholders, represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, will elect fellow policyholders to positions on the ISMIE Mutual Board of Directors.

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

Any ISMIE Mutual policyholder interested in serving as a board member should so notify ISMIE Mutual 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 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 700
Chicago, IL 60602

Two other ISMIE Mutual policyholders must second each candidacy in writing. An ISMIE Mutual policyholder may second nominations for separate and individual board candidates. All curriculum vitae and written seconds must be received at ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company headquarters office, as indicated at the above address, on or before January 3, 2005.

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