  • Community Support

    ILLINOIS COVID-19 RESPONSE FUND CONTRIBUTION

    We recently contributed to the new Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund. RMIC is dedicated to helping families, individuals and businesses today and during their time of need - this is a key element of the company’s mission.

    “We understand that communities are being faced with very uncertain times,” says Kent Shantz, President & CEO of RMIC, “which is why we felt compelled to contribute what we could. Contributing to this fund will swiftly deploy additional financial resources to various local community foundations and nonprofits to support local residents. We are here for more than our community alone; we are here for you.”

  • Resources for Businessowners

    As COVID-19 continues to spread, it is becoming vitally important for businessowners to have procedures in place that address:

    • Epidemic Control
    • Working or Staying At Home
    • Workplace Control

    We understand that developing these types of compliant procedures may seem like a daunting task for your business. Fortunately, with a Business Policy from Rockford Mutual, you have free access to a risk management website, www.wprsolutions.com, that is run by The McCalmon Group.

    The McCalmon Group has developed a model policy, entitled Disease/Epidemic Control. This model policy can be a great starting point for businesses who are struggling to put a policy together. Keep in mind that this is a sample policy only and should be reviewed by your local counsel to ensure it complies with the complicated mix of local and state regulations.
