MERRILL, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I.¹ is proud to be recognized among the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion, based on the company’s score of 90 on the 2023 Disability Equality Index (DEI). The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network.
