“Issuing a general dividend for the third straight year is a continuing sign of Pinnacol’s financial health and stability,” said Ken Ross, Pinnacol Assurance president and CEO. “We’re pleased to be in a position to return this money to our customers who fuel Colorado’s economy by reinvesting these funds in their businesses and their employees’ safety.”
