Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board Chairwoman Ronnie Caplane is retiring from state service at the end of the month, it was announced.
Caplane was appointed commissioner in 2003 by Gov. Gray Davis, reappointed in 2009 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and named Chairwoman by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011.
During her tenure on the board, the California workers’ compensation laws underwent two major reforms. The first came with SB 899 in 2004. Later, as chair, she presided over the first judicial body to review cases that fell under SB 863’s landmark 2013 reforms.
Following retirement, she will be joining Zenith Insurance Co. as a vice president.
