Horne Named AIPSO’s North Central Manager

Residual auto insurance market services provider AIPSO has named Errol Horne as the new manager of its North Central region, which includes the Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota auto insurance plans. Horne, who will replace the retiring James P. Kelly, already manages the Midwest region.

AIPSO’s North Central Region is headquartered in Maple Grove, Minn., but Horne will work from an office in Chicago, responsible for day-to-day operations and administration of the plans.

The plans are assignment mechanisms that provide auto insurance coverage for motorists and businesses unable to obtain it through the voluntary insurance market. Horne joined AIPSO, which is based in Johnston, R.I., in 1992 as a member of its New Jersey regional staff. In 2001, Horne was promoted to the position of assistant regional manager for AIPSO’s Midwest and North Central regional offices.
