Former Nevada Regulator Joins Western Insurance Co.

Alice A. Molasky Arman has joined Western Insurance Co. as senior vice president of government relations.

Molasky Arman recently retired from the State of Nevada, where she was recognized as the state’s longest serving commissioner of insurance. During her tenure as Commissioner from January 1995 until Sept. 7, 2008, the state addressed an availability crisis in medical malpractice insurance, privatized the state’s industrial insurance system, instituted the captive insurance program and launched a statewide media campaign to warn the public about the dangers of unauthorized insurance. Her public outreach program served as a model for the national program of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. She also guided legislation to establish a reinsurance program for health insurers.

Western Insurance Co.and its affiliates, Western Bonding Co. and Western Assurance Co. are based in Nevada and were founded by Dick L. Rottman, himself a former Nevada insurance commissioner.
