History

In the late 1960’s, Terry Briscoe, National Insurance Services (NIS) founder, recognized that Wisconsin’s teachers lacked adequate financial protection when faced with disability. Terry’s efforts resulted in the creation of the Schools Insurance Fund, a trust whose sole purpose was to meet school employees’ disability needs. In 1979, Tom Ehrsam joined NIS and soon Schools Insurance Fund was serving school districts in several states. It wasn’t long before NIS began filling the void in insurance programs for cities, counties and other governmental employers.

Today, NIS’ focus remains solely on the products and services that meet schools, cities, counties and municipalities’ unique challenges and issues.

Values to Live and Work By

Every meeting at NIS starts out with reciting our core values. They are a part of everything we do. The high standards and family values we started with in 1969 provide our framework for success: ethical, team oriented, customer focused, caring and hard working. NIS’ corporate commitment to charity helps support our community through its actions, talents and resources with a focus on providing opportunity for our employees to participate.
