Executive Board

As part of NLdH's focus on the insurance industry, we have formed an Executive Board which consists of five retired senior executives with expertise from the legal and operational disciplines of nationally prominent insurers.

The NLdH Executive Board meets twice a year, once in the Spring and again in the Fall. The Board is tasked with helping NLdH promote its brand and vision to the insurance industry, consulting with NLdH's partners on their practice objectives and helping NLdH identify its strategic objectives. We expect that our association with our Board will ensure we stay true to our mission.
