SACRAMENTO, CA, March 29, 2011 — The American Agents Alliance (the Alliance) today announced that California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones will headline the largest property and casualty convention in the west—the Alliance’s annual convention.
“Our four-day annual convention is a great opportunity for agents, brokers, insurance carriers and vendors to interact with our new commissioner,” says Mike D’Arelli, executive director of the Alliance.
“Our members work on Main Street, not Wall Street, and they share the same passion as the commissioner to serve consumers. Our members are very excited to listen to the commissioner and explore areas where we can work together to better serve consumers.”
Commissioner Jones will address convention attendees during Saturday’s lunch, which will expose attendees to some of the most important issues facing independent insurance agents and the industry, including the economy, commercial and personal lines market conditions, insurance regulation, health care reform, and other timely and important industry issues.
