Elisa Gordon, Agent View the Gordons' Story

Life insurance is very important, especially if you have young children. My husband passed away 6 years ago, and my life would probably be very different if he had not invested in life insurance.

President’s Message

As I reflect on 2024, I am proud of our achievements, which reflect our commitment to agents and policyowners, as well as our employees. In fact, we maintained our status as a Great Place to Work^® for the fourth consecutive year, highlighting our core values of integrity, selflessness, and teamwork.

A key milestone this year was the development of Simplified Issue Disability Income Insurance (SIDI), designed to meet the needs of hardworking Americans with a streamlined application and fast underwriting. Our agents continued to drive success in life and worksite insurance, reinforcing the value of our products for their clients’ financial security. We also enhanced our digital tools, modernizing our My Policy and Agent Portals.

I deeply appreciate the loyalty and trust of our policyowners and agents. As we look forward, we remain focused on our core mission: to help people achieve and safeguard their financial security. I’m proud of all we achieved together, and I’m confident that the best is yet to come.

2024 Highlights

We worked hard to develop a simple and affordable product that offers paycheck protection in the event of a disabling illness or injury that prevents the policyowner from working. Simplified Issue DI launched successfully in January of 2025.

Nine out of ten employees said that Illinois Mutual was a Great Place to Work^® in 2024.* That makes four years in a row—and counting!

Life insurance is peace of mind. In the event something happens to you prematurely, your family’s lifestyle does not have to change.

Tailored for Peace of Mind

Life insurance helps provide peace of mind that your loved ones’ future is secure. Our agents are dedicated to providing our policyowners with this peace of mind by taking the time to understand their unique needs and tailoring solutions to fit your priorities. Policyowners can rest assured, knowing they have the right protection.

Tailored for Income Protection

Our agents are committed to connecting customers with the disability income insurance (DI) that will afford them peace of mind in the event of a disabling illness or injury that prevents them from working. Illinois Mutual’s products are tailored to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each policyowner, with a wide range of occupations eligible for income protection.

My first DI policy I ever wrote was on myself when I was 25 years old, with Illinois Mutual.

Tailored for the Future

At Illinois Mutual, the financial security of our policyowners is our top priority. Our return of premium (ROP) options are a win-win situation for clients who are looking to safeguard their income or provide for their families and receive money back for the premium paid less any benefits received. This is one of the many ways we tailor our products to meet the needs of our policyowners.

Tailored for Employees’ Needs

You never know when the unexpected may strike. But when it does, worksite voluntary benefits can make a world of difference for your employees. At Illinois Mutual, we are dedicated to providing quality voluntary worksite benefits to employees at no direct cost to the employer.

Every policyowner matters at Illinois Mutual.
