This week on Columbia Business One-on-One, we talk with Randa Rawlins, the President and CEO of Shelter Insurance Companies.  We talk about the latest Customer Service award from J. D. Power, making that five out of the last six years and three years in a row.  Randa will retire in 2024, handing over the President duties on January 1st and leaving her CEO role on May 1st, based on company policies that employees must retire at a given age.  We also have a conversation about the insurance business in general and some challenges that Shelter has faced in the past year because of an unusually high amount of damage from a variety of storm types in the areas they serve.

Columbia Business One-on-One -- August 26th, 2023

KFRU Business Spotlight -- March 7th & 8th, 2026. Dr. Jennifer Rukstad, the Executive Director of the MSHSAA joins us to talks about two bills, Senate Bill 863 and House Bill 2278, that were written to change the governing body that would oversee the association from a group chosen from members of the association to a group chosen by the legislature.  Ironically, the bills were filed as the MSHSAA celebrates its 100 year anniversary. Through discussions with the authors of the bills, some progress has been made to avoid a total takeover by a new governing body with a possibility of an additional review board
