InsuranceNewsNet says Don Glisson, Jr. Chairman and CEO of Triad Financial Services has been appointed to the Board of Governors of the state-run Citizens Property Insurance Corp. by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater. Citizens offers insurance to homeowners who cannot obtain coverage through private markets, many of whom live in manufactured housing communities, often on the coast where they are vulnerable to hurricanes. Triad is the oldest manufactured housing finance company in existence. In June of 2010 Glisson was named by the Jacksonville Business Journal as a “Ultimate CEO.” A May 8, 2012 story by MHProNews.com told how Citizens, which is now the largest insurer in the state with nearly 1.5 million policies, is reducing its client base so private insurers will return to the market.
