Texas Mutual President and CEO Jeanette Ward recently celebrated two significant achievements with the Texas Mutual board and members of its executive council.
On November 17, Ward reached 30 years with Texas Mutual and the governor’s office recognized this achievement with two special commemorations. Ward received an official certificate signed by Gov. Greg Abbott to recognize her 30-year milestone and received the Yellow Rose of Texas honor for the difference she’s made in the insurance industry and the communities we serve.

The Yellow Rose of Texas award is the highest honor given to Texas women by the governor. Nominations for the award are submitted to and selected by the Office of the Texas Governor. During last month’s board meeting, Honorable Ron Simmons, chairman of Texas Mutual’s board, presented the award to Ward.
Ward has been an integral part of Texas Mutual since joining the Texas Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund in 1993, which later became Texas Mutual. Ward attributes her own mentorship experience to what helped lead her to where she is today and carries that forward by serving as a mentor and role model for others at our company and within the insurance industry.
