🎉Excited to be joining @AtheneUSA as EVP for government and regulatory relations. Great company, fanstastic people, interesting issues and I get to keep contributing to a sector and system I love. Total win all around. 🏆 globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

But the FAs are tossing out biscotti like beads at Mardi Gras, so at least we have that going for us.

Currently on #United. #system #wide #outage and all the makings of a total cluster. An update would be nice @united

Finally a text update from @united - “Due to a technology outage, we are temporarily holding some United flights at their departure airports to manage gate availability at destination airports. This may result in delays throughout the evening as we work to resolve the situation.”

Hour 2 of #United #outage sitting on the tarmac at DSM. Here’s how dominoes fall from here. 1. Outage fixed (maybe). 2. Crowded hubs institute ATC flow management = more delays. 3. Crews start to time out = more delays. 4. Broader aircraft and crew mispositioning = total meltdown

Couldn’t agree more @Susankneely! The #fiduciaryrule is bad for consumers and will only deepen the retirement crisis in the US. And it unnecessarily preempts state regulations and state regulators who have demonstrated over and over again their commitment to consumer protection.

The @USDOL #fiduciaryrule is bad for consumers. It will reduce access to desperately needed retirement products when Americans need them most and will serve to only deepen the savings crisis in this country. Kudos to the @naic and @NdGodfread for taking such strong stands.

The NAIC today announced the appointment of insurance veteran and current Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner Gary D. Anderson as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer. Read more: ow.ly/VwPm50QV2Mh

Congratulations to MA Cmr. Gary Anderson who was just named @naic #CEO. Gary will be an amazing leader and continued strong advocate for our state based system domestically and internationally. Congrats Gary!

Kudos to @naic members for their extraordinarily strong critique of the @USDOL’s proposed fiduciary rule that undermines years of efforts by state insurance regulators to implement enhanced regulation to both protect and provide for US consumers. content.naic.org/article/naic-s…

So on one of the busiest travel days of the year, the @DENAirport terminal train seem to be stuck/delayed again. Things could get ugly quickly.

On point and warm welcome to the #IAIS Annual Conferece by Japanese Prime Minister Kishida who in his remarks noted “insurance companies as institutional investors are providers of long-term funding.”

I was deeply honored to have been recognized last night by my #IAIS colleagues as a Distinguished Fellow. It’s been a privilege contributing to int’l insurance standard setting for the last decade as part of the @naic and now in my role with @AtheneUSA as a stakeholder.

Strong stand by the @naic in defense of the work that every state Ins. regulator does every day to protect consumers and their markets. Additional and punitive regulation by the #DOL is not going to help solve the retirement and savings crisis in the US. #fiduciaryrule

Proud to host the @AtheneUSA reception at the @ACLINews #ACLIAnnual meeting along with the amazing @Susankneely celebrating the life insurance sector’s grass roots initiative to protect American consumers’ financial futures. #ProtectingEveryFuture

Major #fire at @TiffanyAndCo #NYC flagship store. Hope everyone is ok!

@phielkema @naic So thrilled to see you all in Seattle. All the best during this meeting.
