Celebrating Change
Passing the presidential baton.
LYLE DAVIDSON
KAIA President
e recently concluded another successful
Leadership and Development
Conference, and we celebrate the award
winners, current leaders, and future leaders of our
association. As I conclude my tenure as association
president, I have had time to reflect on the past
year and the positive direction of the KAIA.
W
As our industry changes, so must our association.
David Hulcher has completed his first full year as
association Executive Director, and it’s exciting
to see his energy and direction toward the future.
Our board recently completed our tri-annual
strategic planning initiative and has put plans in
place to attack the challenges that our industry
and association face. Our staff continues to be a
strength of the association and will continue to
help provide the advocacy, market access, and
services we as members need.
KAIA has continued to develop a positive
working relationship with the Kansas Insurance
Department and specifically with Commissioner
Selzer. We appreciate the willingness to be a
2
resource on industry issues. Together we have
prolonged our partnership and will continue to
do so in the best interests of Kansas consumers.
We also maintain a tremendous relationship with
our company partners. Through the company/
agent partnership, we uphold our commitment to
provide exceptional coverage and service to our
clients, despite the external challenges we face.
Thank you for the opportunity to have served
the past year as your KAIA president! It has
been a positive experience to be a part of the
association changes the past year. As I pass the
baton to Scott Strong after all these years serving
together on the board, I know the association is
in good hands. I look forward to joining the Past
President’s group and remain in service to KAIA
with them.
