Our Founder, Ruth Graham Conaghan

Ruth Graham Conaghan served as the unrelenting backbone of Creative Benefits, Inc. with passion, dedication, humor, and resiliency for the organization’s first 39 years. Her guidance, knowledge and example inspired the culture of caring within our organization that goes above and beyond to serve our team, our clients and our clients’ employees.

When asked if she envisioned Creative Benefits’ prospering, she would modestly say she did not have much more than an idea and the drive to see it through. When in truth, she had an extraordinary skill set that allowed her to build a comprehensive benefits package tailored to the needs of each of her clients, the desire to serve others wholeheartedly and the ability to find the very best people to surround herself with and assemble the organization into what it is today — a Top Employee Consultant Firm, one of The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Top Workplaces, a Certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise, a platform for charitable giving, a community, a family.

Ruth is a beacon of what hard work, a competitive spirit and humility can manifest. She felt great pride for what she and her Creative Benefits family created together; was confident that the company would continue to thrive well into the future with an evolving strategic vision and unremitting level of superior customer service; and that the legacy she never intended would indefinitely live on.
