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 28 committees and serves as Chair of the Executive Committee, Government Relations Leadership Council, Internal Administration Subcommittee, International Insurance Relations Leadership Group, NAIC/State Government Liaison Committee and Professional Health Insurance Advisor’s 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. As of January 1, 2012, the Commissioner became the newest President of the NAIC.
