History
For nearly four decades, Callis has grown alongside the people and businesses of rural America. The agency’s story began with founder Cliff Callis’ belief that one simple approach could guide every decision: listen well, work hard and put people first. That philosophy has continued under President Megan Hartman, who has led the agency for the past several years. Megan is building on Cliff’s legacy while guiding Callis into its next chapter.
