September 24, 2014

The board of directors of the Surplus Lines Stamping Office of Texas (SLSOT) announced the retirement of Philip R. Ballinger as executive director after 22 years of distinguished service. He will remain in the post until Jan. 2, 2015.

Ballinger joined the Surplus Lines Stamping Office of Texas in 1992 as director of technical services. In 2000, the board appointed him executive director. Previously, he served as director of tax administration at the Texas Department of Insurance and began his career working as a mineral and petroleum property appraiser throughout Texas.

Under Ballinger’s exceptional direction, the SLSOT has become recognized nationally for its service to the state and to the surplus lines market.

Ballinger presided over many major accomplishments during his tenure, most notable being the introduction of innovative technology and electronic regulatory filings for the Texas surplus lines market.

Ballinger has been extremely active in the surplus lines industry, serving as vice president of the board of directors for the Derek Hughes/NAPSLO Educational Foundation, serving as a faculty member at NAPSLO’s Advanced School, and serving on the National Advisory Committee for the Associate in Surplus Lines Insurance (ASLI) professional designation. In addition, he is a past-president of the Central Texas Chapter of CPCU.

A search committee will be appointed to select Ballinger’s successor.
