NAIC Names 2017 Consumer Liaison Representatives

Targeted News Service (Press Releases)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 -- The National Association of Insurance Commissioners issued the following news release:

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) recently named 35 consumer liaison representatives for 2017. The 22 funded and 13 unfunded consumer representatives began their terms Jan. 1. Eighteen of the funded consumer representatives participated in the program in 2017.

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.

"Consumer liaison representatives play a vital role in our efforts to protect all consumers, which is a priority for state insurance regulators," said Ted Nickel, NAIC President and Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner. "These experts in consumer protection provide regulators with important guidance on consumer interests across the nation and contribute to the NAIC's mission."

The NAIC voted to increase the number of funded consumer representatives from 20 to 22 at its Fall 2016 National Meeting.
