MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sedgwick proudly announced that Managing Director Mary Beth Sanford has been selected by Business Insurance magazine as one of its 2015 Women to Watch.
The annual Women to Watch program recognizes 25 women for their exceptional work in risk management, benefits management, commercial insurance and related fields. Honorees are chosen by the publication's senior editors based on nominations submitted by readers. Recent professional achievements, influence on the marketplace and contributions to the advancement of women in business are included in the criteria.
Based in Dublin, Ohio, Sanford is an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience in workers' compensation, bill review, group health medical/dental, disability and managed care. She is highly regarded as an expert in Ohio's uniquely complex, monopolistic workers' compensation system and related managed care requirements.
