The Insurance Council of Texas presented Ron Cobb, counsel to the American Insurance Association (AIA), with the Raymond Mauk Leadership Award on July 18, in Austin, at ICT’s 21st Annual Mid-Year Property and Casualty Symposium.
Cobb is the sixteenth recipient of the prestigious award.
The Raymond Mauk Leadership Award is the ICT’s highest honor and is intended to bestow recognition on those whose labor has made a significant difference in the business of insurance.
Cobb was recognized for his major role in helping to reform the Texas workers’ compensation system, resolving premium and maintenance tax issues and moving the state away from a promulgated rate making system to the more competitive file and use marketplace that has benefited companies, agents and policyholders.
Cobb began his career as a personal lines underwriter for USF&G. He subsequently worked at American General, first in personal lines and then as a manager for commercial lines.
While working during the day and attending the University of Houston at night, Cobb eventually graduated from the South Texas School of Law. With his law degree Cobb was named assistant counsel for American General and put in charge of government affairs.
In 1976, Cobb was hired as regional vice president with the AIA where he assumed responsibility for eight states. Cobb retired as regional vice president in 2003 and began serving as counsel to AIA and other industry organizations.
