Colleen Reitan

Board Chair

Colleen Reitan retired in 2018 from a 36-year career in the health plan business. Most of that career was with two Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans, ending as the President of Plan Operations for Health Care Service Corporation headquartered in Illinois and covering 16 million people. Reitan also was the Chief Operating Officer for HCSC and previously for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota.


As a new, full time resident of Avon, I have been so pleased to see an organization as devoted to educating youth and adults about this wilderness that we are part of. The focus on sustainability is also an important contribution WMSC makes to the Eagle Valley.
