Maya Sibul: Can you tell me a little about your background, organisation, and remit?
Dean Cameron: I’ve been the Idaho insurance commissioner since 2015. I was reappointed by Governor Brad Little in 2019, and when he won re-election, I was reappointed again.
Previously, I was a state senator for 25 years and chaired many of the committees that involved insurance and banking. While I was serving as a state senator – and before that – I also served as an insurance agent.
As the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) president, I was able to engage internationally on several issues, which allowed me to lead in several areas. We tried to emphasise the importance of appropriate regulation of the industry of what we’re doing for consumers, and why we must have insurance products. As regulators, we can lose focus on the goal, which is for the consumers to be protected. We worked on improving relationships which allow for collaboration with consumer and industry groups and legislative groups.
These opportunities have allowed me to get to know folks across the world and advocate for what I consider to be the appropriate level of regulation and involvement with insurance investments.
