BLOG
By Naomi Myers, SVP & Chief Administrative Officer, The Mutual Group – October 2025
At The Mutual Group’s core, we are committed to protecting people, supporting communities, and planning for the future. That philosophy extends beyond the products and services we offer; it shapes how we invest in our people and in the next generation of talent.
The Mutual Group is dedicated to fostering future leaders for the mutual insurance industry. That’s why we’re proud not only to be a Founding 50 Sponsor of RISE (Rising Insurance Star Executives), but also to be named among their Elite 50 Internships, which recognizes the top insurance internship programs across the United States.
At The Mutual Group, internships are more than a summer job or résumé booster. Designed with intention, they are a two-way opportunity: students gain hands-on experience and exposure to enterprise-grade operations across underwriting, claims, human resources, technology, and marketing, while we benefit from fresh perspectives, energy, and the potential of future teammates.
This approach reflects the same values that define our Membership Model Advantage. Just as we help mutual insurers grow, modernize, and remain proudly independent, we aim to give students the scale and resources to grow while preserving their individuality and potential.
The Mutual Group was created to serve the mutual insurance industry—an industry built on policyholder-first values and long-term community commitment. Every decision we make, including how we nurture talent, is rooted in those same principles of sustainability and lasting value. Our internship program reflects that commitment: we’re not looking for short-term help, we’re cultivating lasting relationships with students who may one day grow into leaders in Claims, Underwriting, Finance, HR, and Communications.
Our guiding principles—mission alignment, independence preserved, and future-readiness—are central to how we operate, and we strive to pass those values on to every intern. With real responsibilities, access to mentors, and opportunities to collaborate across departments, interns experience firsthand the strength of TMG’s national platform and the culture of partnership that drives our success.
By investing in young professionals today, we’re unlocking potential for tomorrow ensuring that The Mutual Group continues to grow stronger, more innovative, and more resilient while preserving what makes us unique.
At The Mutual Group, we’re unlocking potential—for companies and people—so we can all grow and stay proudly independent.
