Mass. DOI Commissioner Joins the Board

NIPR Welcomes Newest Board Members
Michael T. Caljouw

The National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) announces the appointment of two new regulator members to its Board of Directors.

Michael T. Caljouw, Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner, joins the board following his October 2024 appointment by Governor Maura Healey. As Commissioner, he oversees the Massachusetts insurance market, an approximately $70 billion industry, and brings over 30 years of experience in regulatory and policy leadership across public and private sectors.

Dean L. Cameron, Director of the Idaho Department of Insurance, was appointed in 2015 and brings decades of experience in insurance and public service as a third-generation agent and Senate member. Cameron served 13 terms in the Idaho Senate, where he led key finance and insurance committees and sponsored numerous health care initiatives.

“We are honored to welcome Commissioner Caljouw and Director Cameron to the NIPR board,” said NIPR CEO Karen Stakem Hornig. “Their leadership and deep understanding of insurance regulation will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our support for state regulators and the industry.”
