Ross Joins Gallagher Benefit Services’ Denver Office

Gallagher Benefit Services Inc. of Denver announced that employee benefits expert Dutch Ross has joined the office as a senior client consultant.

Ross has been an employee benefits broker and consultant for a more than a decade. He has run his own consulting firm, Ross Benefits Consulting in Avon, Colo., and has worked with employers in the outlying areas of the state — primarily mountain and southern Colorado.

He brings with him a wealth of industry knowledge, especially in the public-sector market. Historically half of Ross’s clients have been smaller public-sector entities, including towns, schools and special districts with fewer than 500 employees. He is a former board member of the Colorado Human Resource Association and also a former board member of the High Country Human Resource Association. For the past four years Ross has conducted a Colorado public- sector employee benefits benchmarking survey, which is distributed in the first quarter to more than 300 public-sector employers in Colorado. He is a licensed health and life agent as well as a licensed property and casualty agent.
