The head of a major health insurance producer group plans to do something else next year.
The group, the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (which was formerly National Association of Health Underwriters), announced last week that its CEO, Janet Trautwein, will step down at the end of the year to "pursue other opportunities."
NABIP did not describe the other opportunities.
Washington-based NABIP was founded in 1930 and has grown to about 100,000 members. The group changed its name to reflect that many members now focus on helping clients with arrangements such as employee benefits and Medicare plans, in addition to traditional major medical insurance.
Trautwein started out as vice president of Swenson-Stokes Employee Benefits, a health insurance brokerage firm in Austin, Texas. While at Swenson-Stokes, she was the legislative director of the Texas Association of Health Underwriters.
