Correll Insurance Group is proud to congratulate South Carolina Department of Insurance Director Ray Farmer on his recent election to the position of president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Director Farmer assumed the position on January 1, 2020.

Director Farmer’s election to the role gives the South Carolina insurance industry another important voice and presence nationally. Correll Insurance Group CEO Jon Jensen was installed as chairman of the Independent Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”) last year.

Ray Farmer was appointed to serve as Director for the South Carolina Department of Insurance in 2012. He brings 50 years of experience in the insurance industry to his leadership role. In 2014, he was named the Industry Person of the Year from the Independent Agents and Brokers of South Carolina.

The NAIC is the nation’s standard-setting and regulatory support organization. It is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories.

The organization will focus on eight issues in 2019:

Correll Insurance Group looks forward to working with Director Farmer and the NAIC this year on these important issues affecting the insurance industry.

I have known Scott Wheeler and known of SFI Group for many years as a part time resident and homeowner in North Topsail Beach. Scott and his company have a stellar reputation as a local business that works on a national scale. When I become President of our HOA, I connected with Scott to discuss his business and how we could benefit from utilizing his services. Following Hurricane Florence, I saw firsthand and heard from neighbors how great Scott and his team were in response to the devastation.

Ultimately, St Regis selected SFI Group as our broker of record and have been very pleased with all aspects of the full service agency. Scott made personal visits to speak with our board to fully explain the policies that he was proposing and take our questions. Once in place, he did the same thing at an owners meeting, even staying afterwards to take additional questions. In addition to being well insured, we feel that we are in good hands with a strategic partner, friend, and neighbor in Scott and SFI Group.
