R. Todd Rockefeller
The Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of New York recently elected R. Todd Rockefeller as its chairman of the board for the 2015-16 term.
Rockefeller took the oath of office during a ceremony following IIABNY’s annual business meeting, held at the Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown. Members also elected and installed new officers and regional members of the board of directors.
Rockefeller, a native of Ridgefield, is a partner with DeRosa, Rockefeller, Sohigian & Werdal Inc. in Harrison, N.Y. A member of the IIABNY board of directors since 2009, he is past president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Westchester.
In his remarks, Rockefeller emphasized the need to make insurance careers accessible and attractive to the next generation of workers. He also said independent insurance agents need to better spread their message. “We are the best insurance delivery system for the American public,” he declared. “We are advisers and a supermarket of solutions, affording consumers the best possible insurance coverage at a reasonable price.” He promised that IIABNY will defend independent agents against competition from insurers who use advertising to sell coverage directly to consumers.
He also called for the merger of IIABNY with the Professional Insurance Agents of New York.
The post Ridgefielder chairman of insurance board appeared first on The Ridgefield Press.
