Everest CUO joins WCIRB governing committee as chairman

The chief underwriter officer of Everest Insurance, Mike Mulray, has been approved as chairman of the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau of California (WCIRB) governing committee.

The WCIRB is a private, nonprofit association comprised of all companies licensed to transact workers' compensation insurance in California and has over 400 member companies. It is licensed by the Insurance Commissioner as an insurance rating organisation and is the Commissioner’s designated statistical agent.

WCIRB’s governing committee sets policy and oversees the management of the affairs of the group. Mulray will represent Everest National Insurance Company on the committee.

“After serving as a member of the governing committee for the past two years, I look forward to working closely with WCIRB CEO Bill Mudge, his leadership team, and the entire committee as we continue to pursue the mission of this great organisation,” said Mulray.

He added: “The California Workers’ Compensation market plays a crucial role not only in the local economy, but in the global economy. The need for a consistent and stable market is critical to local employers, employees, insurers and other stakeholders. The objective insights provided by the WCIRB help maintain this stability.”
