Dartmouth College Ranks Jeannie Cullen Schultz in 100 Greatest Athletes of All Time
Jeannie Cullen Schultz, Co-President of JP Cullen, has had a very successful athletic and professional career to date. One more accolade has been added to her resume. Dartmouth College just released their Top 100 Greatest Athletes of All Time list, and Jeannie has made that list.
Jeannie attended Dartmouth College from 2002 – 2006 and was a star student-athlete on the women’s basketball team. She scored 1,481 points and played in 112 games, averaging 12.2 points per game. Jeannie is the record holder for three-point makes in the Ivy League. She led her team to Ivy League championships and the NCAA Tournament, almost upsetting the number 2 seed, Rutgers University.
Jeannie intended to pursue a career in sports coaching, but the prospect of joining the family business changed that path. She started as a project manager for the HVAC contractor North American Mechanical. In 2013, Jeannie was tasked with expanding the healthcare market in Dane county, including growing the team of healthcare experts. Then in 2020, she stepped into the Co-Presidency role and now leads a $500 million a year firm and a staff of 650 people.
Jeannie has a competitive nature born out of years of playing sports throughout high school and college. She has experienced first-hand the power of a talented, unified team and has made that the foundation of JP Cullen’s mission.

WPS named DAV’s 2022 Large Employer of the Year
MADISON, Wis.—Aug. 17, 2022- DAV (Disabled American Veterans), a nonprofit veterans organization founded in 1920, has named WPS Health Solutions, a Wisconsin-based not-for-profit health insurance company, its Large Employer of the Year. WPS Health Solutions was formally recognized Aug. 7 during the 2022 DAV and Auxiliary National Convention in Orlando, Fla.
“Like DAV, WPS Health Solutions began as a means to serve the many ill and injured soldiers returning from a world war,” DAV National Commander Andrew Marshall said. “By providing meaningful employment and opportunities to grow, WPS Health Solutions continues to support veterans of all generations. Beyond that, the company is a fierce advocate of veterans throughout their community and across the country. We are thrilled to recognize those efforts.”
WPS Health Solutions was founded in 1946 to meet the health care needs of returning World War II soldiers. Today, WPS is also a primary claims processor for TRICARE For Life and a subcontractor for the TRICARE East Region serving more than 8 million beneficiaries. For more than 75 years, the company has shown its dedication to military veterans through its recruiting initiatives, support groups and mentorship programs. The company was selected for the national-level honor over numerous other businesses with 1,000 or more employees.
In 2015, in an effort to enhance its recruiting and hiring of veteran candidates, WPS Health Solutions created a military affairs manager position to work closely with its Human Resource Talent Acquisition Team. The company also includes a veteran on its hiring panel when interviewing veteran candidates.
Once hired, veteran employees at WPS are set up for success with several resources. The Veterans Enhancement Team (VET) was created as an employee resource group for its roughly 100 veteran employees to build camaraderie. The group also serves as a mentorship resource and has implemented a companywide Meet our Veterans initiative.
“WPS Health Solutions knows first-hand that our veterans are an amazingly capable group of employees. The leadership skills, soft skills and ability to grow greatly benefit our company’s culture and success,” said Military and Veteran Inclusion Lead Timothy La Sage. “We are honored to support and mentor these employees and grateful for this recognition of WPS Health Solutions’ longstanding mission to serve those who served.”
WPS Health Solutions supports many veteran initiatives, including several state Honor Flights, the Green Bay Packers’ Operation Fan Mail program, Sierra Delta, Fisher House Wisconsin, Heat for Heroes, the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, and more.
