NAIC Names 2020 Consumer Liaison Representatives

By Press Release InsuranceNewsNet

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners recently named 32 consumer liaison representatives for 2020.

The 20 funded and 12 unfunded consumer representatives began their terms Jan. 1. Fifteen of the funded consumer representatives participated in the program in 2019. They receive funds from the NAIC, typically in the form is expense reimbursement for travel and lodging at NAIC meetings.

Established in 1992, the Consumer Liaison Program "promotes consumer interaction with the NAIC's members, the insurance industry and interested parties through the individuals' dedication and commitment to serving the public interest," an NAIC press release said.
