The Commissioner's Leadership Role on Several Important National Committees

Commissioner McCarty has consistently been a leader in insurance regulation, which includes not only consumer protection for Florida policyholders, but also to strengthen insurance regulation on a nationwide basis. His leadership at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), a national association of insurance commissioners, is demonstrated by Florida's participation on addressing numerous significant insurance issues such as solvency regulation, consumer protection initiatives, use of technology for greater transparency and speed to market.

Since assuming his role as insurance commissioner in 2003, McCarty has been an active NAIC member through his roles and leadership on a number of key committees. Commissioner McCarty is a current member of 7 committees including 37 task forces, councils, and working groups and 8 subgroups and serves as Chair of the Health Actuarial Task Group, Medical Loss Ratio Subgroup, Catastrophe Insurance Working Group, Investigation of Life/Annuity Settlement Practices Task Force, and Professional Health Insurance Advisors Task Force. In December 2008, Commissioner McCarty was elected by his fellow commissioners to the post of NAIC's secretary-treasurer, as vice president in 2009 and president-elect in 2010. Commissioner McCarty served as President of the NAIC in 2012 and is now serving in the capacity as Immediate Past President for 2013.
