NAPSLO’s Annual Convention, held from Sept. 9-11 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego and Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, saw record attendance once again this year. Myriad panels and events highlighted the conference meetings
and kept attendees informed on the current state of the surplus
lines market. NU P&C Editor-in-Chief Shawn Moynihan sat down
with Brady Kelley, NAPSLO’s executive director, and outgoing
President Hank Haldeman for exclusive interviews that can be
found on PropertyCasualty360.com.
The three days of meetings, business discussions and,
of course, parties climaxed with the annual event’s general
session, during which attendees filled the grand ballroom
for award presentations, the swearing in of new NAPSLO
president Gil Hine and a slate of other directors and officers,
and a stirring keynote by actor/activist Gary Sinise.
During the
general session,
Gilbert C. Hine Jr.,
CPCU, CFP, president
of McClelland & Hine
in San Antonio, was
appointed NAPSLO’s
new president.
San Diego provided
a sunny backdrop
for this year’s
convention, with
several hospitality
events taking place
outdoors.
