After half a century of distinguished public service including positions as Director of Insurance at the Consumer Federation of America, and as a member of and contributor to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and as the Texas Insurance Commissioner, Mr. J. Robert "Bob" Hunter is retiring.
I was not aware of all of his many accomplishments until now, when he is retiring. Here's a brief look at the highlights of Bob's public service record:
1971: United States Federal Insurance Administrator. Bob would lead the Federal Insurance Administration first under President Carter, then under President Ford.
1980: Bob founds the National Insurance Consumer Organization (NICO) and becomes its head in 1982.
1995: Bob transitions into a post in which he would serve for the next 27 years: Director of Insurance, Consumer Federation of America (CFA).
1980 through now: Bob never asked for compensation over his more than 40 years of work with NICO and CFA.
Along the way, Bob served as Texas Insurance Commissioner.
That is enough. That is probably already more than Bob would want to have said about him, being a humble person. This tribute will be short because he would want it that way.
His professional career showed his enduring belief in the wisdom of insurer good faith.
Godspeed, Bob Hunter.
