We have developed and implemented strategies that:
- helped found and guide the growth of the Association of Financial Guaranty Insurers (AFGI), the trade association representing the bond insurance industry;
- contributed to a 44 percent growth in the membership of the Industry Education Council to NCOIL (the IEC) by enhancing the value of membership, and growing the IEC’s visibility and credibility;
- catalyzed the growth of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) into a major player in public policy discussions and decisions in insurance and financial services; and
