I am confident this move will create greater focus on meeting our customers' needs in both the near and long term.

Joe McCaw is well-positioned to lead this division. He is well respected in the payment protection industry and has a wealth product knowledge and industry expertise."
"Dale Bullard will oversee our growth efforts across all brands and lead our mergers and acquisition efforts. Dale and his team have over forty years of insurance industry and deal experience. As is always the case, we are looking to position our executives to have the most significant impact on our growth and development. Dale has experience in this role and I am confident he will be very successful."

We continue to expand our sales organization and are adding experienced payment protection sales leadership to grow our business. We are investing in new technology to streamline customer set up, premium processing, claim adjudication and customer reporting.
