New Year’s Resolutions<br />
I resolve to focus on work-life balance and actually make it a reality! Through<br />
a more balanced life, I hope to be a better role model for others.<br />
Michelle Wiltgen, AVP, National Marketing Manager<br />
Learn, grow and evolve to improve as a leader for Vanliner, and a better<br />
person for my family and friends. But if I don’t find a way to take my wife on<br />
a vacation involving palm trees, none of that other stuff will matter.<br />
Matt Grimm, President, Vanliner Insurance Company<br />
I resolve to step back and focus more closely on the world around me and let<br />
that insight help guide my actions, personally and professionally.<br />
Steve Blankenship, Vice President, Passenger Transportation<br />
Cherish time with family and friends, enjoy the little things and be happy<br />
with where I am in this stage of life.<br />
Mike Lucas, AVP, Vanliner Marketing<br />
While I’m not really a New Year’s resolution person, my personal mantra is<br />
‘Be Joyful’, which means more than happiness, as happiness is internal. Joy<br />
is external, and should be shared with whoever I encounter during my day. I<br />
try to take the opportunity to improve another person’s day at work, home,<br />
anywhere, and I will continue that into 2018.<br />
Jan Lombardi, AVP, Finance<br />
My New Year’s resolution is to further evolve as a leader by: Reminding<br />
myself that the most important aspects of my job include listening, caring,<br />
inspiring and celebrating; making every effort to treat our employees the<br />
way I want my children to be treated when they enter the work force; and<br />
endeavoring to be patient, empathetic and authentically human. Oh, and I’d<br />
also like to lose 20 pounds.<br />
Colleen Shepherd, AVP, Vanliner Claims<br />
While it may be difficult to improve upon perfection, in 2018, I hope to be an<br />
even better father, friend and coworker than in 2017. <br />
Tony Brown, Vice President, Human Resources<br />
My hope for 2018 is that Tony Brown will be a better friend and coworker to<br />
me than he was in 2017.<br />
Chris Mikolay, Vice President, National Accounts<br />
In 2018, I hope to have my National Interstate home be a paperless office,<br />
except for what is already copied and hidden in my desk drawers. Also, I will<br />
learn to share my chocolates with others. Otherwise, when left to my own<br />
devices, I will eat them all and have regrets later.<br />
Janice Shee, AVP, Reinsurance
