New Mexico – Morris “Mo” Chavez

February 11, 2007

After replacing two insurance superintendents in less than a year over allegations of questionable activities, New Mexico’s Insurance Department seems to sorely need some ethics training.

The latest appointed Insurance Superintendent Morris “Mo” Chavez, hopes to do just that, restoring transparency, honesty and integrity in the office.

A licensed attorney and former regulator, Chavez shares how his administrative experience will help to move the Department of Insurance in a new direction — one that can be trusted.

“In a year, I hope that we have a staff that is committed to ethics; to doing things the right way, and [by] buying into my vision [that] hopefully is going to benefit the consumers in New Mexico,” he said.

Among Chavez’s priorities is to oversee and work with the fraud ethics department, newly created by the state’s Public Regulations Commission.

“It’s important for any organization, whether you’re a state agency or a Fortune 500 company, to run your organization in an ethical manner. And I think my working with this division very closely to make sure we’re doing the business the right way is very important.”
