Texas Mutual Insurance Company announced that Texas Gov. Rick Perry re-appointed Richard Cooper to serve on the Texas Mutual board of directors. Cooper will serve another six-year term, which will end in July 2011.
Then-Gov. George W. Bush first appointed Cooper to the board of Texas Mutual Insurance Company (then called the Texas Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund) in 1996 to fill an outgoing board member’s unexpired term. Governor Bush re-appointed Cooper to a full six-year term in 1999.
Cooper served as vice-chair of the Texas Mutual board in 2001 and 2002, and as secretary in 2003 and 2004. He also serves as chair of the board’s audit committee.
“I am very pleased that Mr. Cooper will continue to serve the company and our policyholders,” said Texas Mutual President Russ Oliver. “He understands the value of a strong workers’ compensation system. His guidance has helped Texas Mutual Insurance Company mature and prosper through the many changes in market conditions and the workers’ compensation system over the past nine years.”
Cooper received his BBA from Texas Tech University. He is the owner and president of National Travel Systems of Lubbock.
