AIA WELCOMES NEW COLO. INS. COMMISSIONER

The American Insurance Association (AIA) welcomed former Speaker of the House Doug Dean as commissioner of the Colorado Department of Insurance. “AIA and its member companies look forward to working with Speaker Dean in his new role as Insurance Commissioner,” Ronald Cobb, AIA vice president, Southwest region, said. “There will be several major issues facing the insurance industry this year in Colorado. We welcome the opportunity to work with the new commissioner as he gets up to speed on insurance issues and know his experience in the legislature will be of great value.” Dean replaces William Kirven III, who resigned last year to pursue other interests.
