Kentucky Regulator Wins First Professional Designation

August 7, 2007

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has awarded its first professional designation to Kathy Horsley of the Kentucky Office of Insurance.

Horsley earned the Associate Professional of Insurance Regulation designation through the NAIC’s Insurance Regulator Professional Designation Program.

“We are proud that the first graduate of the Designation Program is from our state,” said Kentucky Executive Director of Insurance Julie McPeak. “This program is one way we can recognize those regulators, like Kathy, whose pursuit of excellence in the regulation of insurance is a benefit to the industry and consumers alike.”

Launched in October 2006, the NAIC Designation Program provides regulators with a structured professional development path for regulators at all levels of experience.

The curriculum and course requirements were established under the direction of the NAIC Designation Program Advisory Board, which is chaired by Iowa Insurance Commissioner Susan Voss and comprised of regulators from each NAIC regulatory zone.

“Designed by regulators for regulators, the Designation Program includes a course of study deemed critical for protecting consumers and regulating an increasingly complex insurance marketplace,” Voss said. “Earning a professional designation through this unique program truly demonstrates a commitment to effective, efficient insurance regulation.”
