BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Ms. Ward joined the Austin-based workers compensation insurer 29 years ago, starting as a receptionist. She later held roles in strategic planning, claims oversight, and with the safety and medical network operations teams.

Ms. Ward was named one of Business Insurance’s Women to Watch in 2018, the year she became COO of Texas Mutual.
