Oregon's top insurance regulator, Joel Ario, 53, is leaving his post there to become Pennsylvania insurance commissioner, it was announced today.
Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell said his nominee for commissioner has collaborated well in Oregon with companies, agents and consumers to ensure consumers are protected, “while also preserving the flexibility insurers need to thrive in the fast-changing insurance marketplace.
Mr. Ario, the Oregon Insurance Division administrator, would succeed Diane Koken, who served three governors and was the longest serving commissioner in modern state history in addition to serving as president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
