OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready has been appointed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to serve as the Chair for the American Indian and Alaska Native Liaison Committee in 2023. He was also named Vice Chair of the Receivership and Insolvency (E) Task Force and the Regulatory Framework (B) Task Force.

“I am honored and excited to serve as Chair of this important committee.

In addition to these leadership roles, Commissioner Mulready is a standing member on three letter committees for the upcoming year; Life Insurance and Annuities (A), Health Insurance and Managed Care (B), and Property and Casualty Insurance (C) Committees.
