Mike Pierron has been hired as a Representative for Equitable Reserve Association in the Wisconsin Fox Cities area.

Pierron brings with him over twenty-four years of experience in sales and marketing. Prior to joining Equitable Reserve, Pierron was Sales and Marketing Manager at Landmark Staffing Resources and a motivational speaker with his own firm “Dream Big” since 2001. He holds a BBA from the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater in marketing. He is Life and Health Insurance licensed and is currently en- rolled in Fraternal Insurance Counsellor study.

“We feel very fortunate to have someone of Mike’s background and expertise come on board. He will be an ideal fit for us as we grow our business in the Appleton and Green Bay areas. Mike’s focus will be to provide individuals with their individual financial needs as well as working with businesses to show them how they can enhance the benefits they provide their employees.” said Roger Zuleger, Vice President – Marketing & Sales for Equitable Reserve.

“I’m excited to be a part of Equitable Reserve Association with its impressive 112-year history and their solid financial products and services,” Pierron said. “While that’s impressive, what really sets Equi- table Reserve apart for me is that it is built on the concept of fraternalism – giving its members the opportunity to participate in hands-on volunteering efforts to improve their communities and to strengthen family ties. Helping our members make a difference in the lives of others is not a feature normally offered through more traditional financial providers. These values are in line with my own commitment to volunteerism.”

Mike’s sales focus will be to provide clients with life and disability insurance, retirement planning, annuities and IRA’s, etc., to meet their individual and small business needs.

Equitable Reserve Association, a general fraternal benefit society located in downtown Neenah, WI, was founded in 1897. It secures the financial future for more than 21,000 members through life insur- ance, annuities, educational planning, disability income protection, retirement planning and a number of fraternal benefits offered by Equitable Reserve Association.
