CTM believes that sound corporate governance is essential to the well-being of the mutual, and its policyholders. As a result, our members elect the CTM Board of Directors, who ensure that governance decisions align with the needs of our policyholders, as they are policyholders themselves.
In contrast to traditional corporations focused on shareholders, our Board prioritizes personalized, member-focused governance with a strong emphasis on the long-term success of our members.
