Calif. State Fund Appoints West VP

California’s State Compensation Insurance Fund has promoted David West to vice president and member of the Executive Committee.

West brings 27 years of State Fund experience to his new post. He started his career in 1980 as a personnel services analyst. In that position, he created and implemented the group’s first labor relations program. The program’s success led to his appointment as labor relations analyst and supervisor of the then-newly established Labor Relations Unit. He was later promoted to government relations officer, then San Francisco District office manager. Most recently, he was underwriting manager.
