WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS
"As a woman business owner, I understand first hand the challenges of running your own company and finding a life balance. My passion is helping other women business owners structure their employee benefits programs and providing local resources to help manage the day to day operations as well as long term planning and goal setting."
Barbara Schlaefer, President, JC Rose Associates
Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier
"The agents at JC Rose helped me decipher all the group health insurance options available for my employees. They made sure we had the right fit for our budget and needs. They took the time to explain to me and my employees how their health insurance works. I found that to be very valuable.” http://www.gailambrosius.com
