Under fire: the NAIC struggles to redefine itself

Article Abstract:

The National Assn of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), at its spring 1995 meeting, failed to quell criticism by some of its members and by state legislators. The organization agreed to conduct a self-appraisal that could lead to significant changes in its management. The self-appraisal will be based on a memorandum, written by Jim Schacht, Illinois' acting insurance commissioner, that calls for a reevaluation of the NAIC's accreditation standards and changes in its budget process.

Shakeups looming for mutual executives

Article Abstract:

Mergers, demographic changes, outside competition, capital needs and business innovation are several of the reasons for the tenuous position of insurance executives. Mutual insurance executives have the least security because of the strength of individual insurance agents.
