The Virginia Insurance Continuing Education Board (“Board”) is currently seeking applicants to fill a volunteer non-paying vacancy on the Board, specifically, one of the three seats designated for a “representative of the property and casualty insurance industry.”
New members of the Board shall be appointed for five years and may, at the Commissioner of Insurance’s discretion, be appointed for one additional, consecutive five-year term. A Board member’s term shall commence on the date of appointment, defined as the date of the letter from the Commissioner appointing the individual to the Board or as otherwise stated in the Commissioner’s appointment letter.
Board members are expected to attend regular meetings of the Board, which typically are held once a quarter, and specially-called Board meetings. Board meetings are held in-person. Board members also are assigned to two or three Board committees based on the member’s interests and background. Committee meetings are held as needed and may be conducted in-person or virtually.
In considering the nomination, please be mindful that the Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, marital status, disability, age, or any classification protected by applicable law. Applications or interest in the Board seat vacancy by members of historically disadvantaged groups in order to promote diversity on the Board is encouraged.
