People Moves: Five Named to California’s COIN Advisory Board and Curriculum Board

November 3, 2026

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara made two appointments and three reappointments to two of the California Department of Insurance‘s statewide governing boards: the California Organized Investment Network (COIN) Advisory Board and the Curriculum Board.

Guinevere Doner and Jonathan Parfrey join the COIN Advisory Board as new members, and Deborah La Franchi has been reappointed to the board. Colbie McRae and Vinh Truong have been reappointed to the Curriculum Board.

The California Organized Investment Network was established in 1996 within the CDI to guide insurers on making financially sound investments that yield benefits throughout California. The COIN Advisory Board provides guidance to the Commissioner and the COIN program to meet its mission and chief priorities.

The Curriculum Board oversees the development of pre-licensing and continuing education curriculum for agents and brokers to uphold professional standards that protect consumers. This board also develops standards for providers and instructors who offer courses and other training to licensed agents and brokers.
