RALEIGH – R. Cleve Folger, a founding partner at TriSure Corp., has been named president-elect of the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina (IIANC).
IIANC is a statewide trade association composed of more than 1,000 independent insurance agencies in North Carolina that employ 10,000-plus insurance representatives and other staff members. Folger will assume his duties at the association’s annual convention in October.
A member of the IIANC board since 1996, Folger said legislative issues will be important during his tenure as president.
With 2005 going down as the worst year on record in the United States for catastrophic insurance losses, thanks to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, insurance carriers are closely managing their risk by raising prices and limiting coverage in certain geographic areas.
The IIANC will work closely with the N.C. Department of Insurance and state legislature to keep rates affordable for consumers, he said.
“Our association is very concerned about the continued accessibility and affordability of insurance in North Carolina, particularly with regard to the coastal area,” he said.
TriSure is one of the largest independently owned insurance brokerage and consulting firms in the Triangle area. The firm consults with the area’s leading businesses to help them successfully manage risks and provide benefits to employees. TriSure offers a premium level of service and experience to clients who deserve the highest quality insurance products delivered with impeccable professionalism.
Folger, a graduate of George State University, holds professional certifications as both a Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU).
