Who Are We?
“We have a very interactive relationship with CRL. The staff in particular are very collaborative with us so that together we develop mutual strategies. We add value to CRL, and CRL adds value to us.”
Wayne Carlson, Executive Director
POOL/PACT
“Twenty years ago, several state pool executive directors got together and decided to stop buying reinsurance in the open market. Together, we pooled our ideas, our expertise, and our money in order to take care of our own destiny; not be bound by the open market or be subjected to the volatile price swings. And it’s been great. It’s worked very well. That’s really how CRL got started and grown into the successful county reinsurer that it is today.”
Sonny Brasfield, Executive Director
Association of County Commissions of Alabama
“The greatest benefit of working with CRL is that we can sleep at night. We never have to worry about a large disaster and our clients not being treated properly. They don’t have to negotiate from the smallest item to the largest most concerning item of cost. The people that work at CRL have our best interest in mind. We are CRL. It’s a member-owned captive, and that makes us very comfortable in the services we deliver to our customers”
David Seivers, Chief Operating Officer
Local Government Insurance Pool
“The Missouri Association of Counties, Workers Comp Trust faced its greatest challenge when the Department of Workers’ Comp in the state of Missouri decided to reinterpret the statute. In 2013, they no longer allowed our state pool to offer its employees liability insurance. CRL stepped up and fronted the employer’s liability portion on the self-retention level until we could get a legislative fix to correct the situation. Missouri will forever be grateful and remember that CRL came to our rescue.”
Carol Green, Treasurer
Phelps County
“CRL has been very adaptive noticing on the front-end new exposure such as cyber liability. When cyber hacking became very prominent in the public entity business, CRL responded to it very quickly. As they have most things, CRL staff understands the needs of county governments, and they respond accordingly. That’s one of the great benefits of CRL is the fact that they’re on the frontline constantly seeking new ways to improve coverages for our members.”
Bob Wormsley, President / CEO
LGIP
“To be part of CRL means that we are part of an organization focused on counties. There’s a lot of similarity in our membership. One of the biggest advantages is the transparency. We know exactly how our insurance is priced, how our coverage terms are determined, and we (or member pools) are at the table and part of that decision making process. There are no secrets. There’s no smoke and mirrors. This is a totally transparent organization.”
Craig Nelson, Executive Director
NIRMA
CRL provides our pool the same advantages we provide our members – low and stable rates, the opportunity to build equity, the ability to participate in the direction of the organization, access to important risk management services, and responsive and professional claims staff. As strong proponents of the advantages of pooling, it only makes sense that we would choose to reinsure with an organization like CRL that shares our philosophy, values, and approach.
