Learning & Development

We encourage and reward associates to continue their professional insurance education, earning credentials by meeting high academic, ethical and length-of-experience standards. Congratulations to Mark Rutherford who completed a series of courses to earn the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation.

The Above and Beyond the Call (ABC) Award recognizes exemplary productivity, service and quality in exceptional associates. Congratulations to fourth-quarter 2010 ABC Award recipients Lisa Dysert, MCSA, senior network administrator, IT Portfolio Management & Architecture and Damen Proffitt, AIT, programmer analyst, IT Diamond. At the Queen City Club on October 26, Damen was named ABC of the Year. This honor is awarded annually to just one of the quarterly recipients. Damen works with associates, outside vendors and testers to manage multiple Diamond environments, keeping them stable while promoting builds, patching into environments and troubleshooting defects. Damen is key in making sure these processes run smoothly.

Public Responsibility

With the November 2010 elections now in the history books, your company will monitor the impact of the 37 gubernatorial and other statewide elections, which could result in up to two dozen new state insurance commissioners taking office by early next year. We look forward to working with the new commissioners as they carry on the important work of state insurance regulation.

As federal regulators begin to consider various rules and regulations to implement the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform legislation, we will continue to remind them — and Congress — that state regulation of insurance works best since the business of insurance is uniquely local. State regulators are in the best position to protect policyholders and respond with regulations and insurance products appropriate to their specific needs, which vary by state because of diverse geographic, climatic and economic conditions.
