Former U.S. Senator Ben Nelson will not renew his contract as chief executive officer of the National Association of Å˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³» Commissioners (NAIC), the group announced.
Nelson’s current term ends on Jan. 31, 2016. He began his tenure at NAIC in January, 2013. The NAIC is an organization of state insurance regulators.
