The launch of the Western Division will further the national growth of the industry foundation and provide opportunities to engage new leadership from across the insurance industry,” said David Zuercher chairman and CEO of Wells Fargo Insurance Services.
“We are honored to have the support and involvement of Wells Fargo and the leadership of Mr. Zurecher” said Bill Ross, CEO of the Industry Foundation.
The Western Division will involve the following western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
