State Insurance Regulators Honor North Carolina’s Long

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has bestowed its first President’s Award for Distinguished NAIC Member Leadership to North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Jim Long.

Long — who is retiring after 24 years as insurance commissioner — was presented with the award by NAIC President and Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger. The award honors an NAIC member who has shown exemplary leadership; served a sustained length of service; and has significantly contributed to advancing the mission of the NAIC.

“This award recognizes Jim as an advocate for the merits of state-based insurance regulation and a champion of the NAIC,” Praeger said. “Since his start on the job in 1985, Jim has accomplished a great deal as an insurance commissioner and contributed enormously to the growth and success of our association.”
