What Regulators Have to Say

"Through my APIR coursework I have learned useful information that has made me a more valuable asset to the Solvency and Receivership team. I believe the training in the NAIC Designation Program will be an asset to me personally and to the Department as a whole in furthering the objectives of state based regulation."

Arlene Knighten, APIR
Louisiana Department of Insurance
