People Moves: California Insurance Commissioner Makes Task Force Reappointments

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara reappointed Michael Golden, Bernardo de la Torre, Doug Heller and Cynthia Strathmann to the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan (CAARP) Advisory Committee; Doug Bystry to the California Organized Investment Network (COIN) Advisory Board, and Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner, Mark Morales and Tommy Smith to the Insurance Diversity Task Force.

CAARP provides auto insurance for motorists unable to obtain coverage in the private market due to their driving records or other extraordinary circumstances. The California Organized Investment Network (COIN) guides insurers on making financially sound investments that yield environmental benefits throughout California and social benefits within the state’s underserved communities. The Insurance Diversity Task Force advises the Department’s Diversity Program, which encourages insurers to expand access and economic inclusion with diverse business owners.
