What Regulators Have to Say

“As a regulator of 10 years, reviewing the principles of regulation, functions of an insurance department and role and structure of the NAIC was still very worthwhile. Studying the basic regulatory concepts made me realize how important understanding them is to perform my job proficiently. With the foundation cultivated through the APIR, I intend to pursue the PIR to gain more specialized skills. I highly recommend the program to regulators who want to grow professionally as well as personally."

Naoko Weigelt, APIR
Idaho Department of Insurance
