Dan Labrie, the president and chief executive officer of the Housing Authority Insurance Group, which serves public housing authorities across the United States, has been elected chairman of the National Risk Retention Association (“NRRA”).

“Dan Labrie is a leader in our industry who has given strong support to NRRA over the years. We are especially pleased that he has agreed to serve as chairman,” said Sanford Elsass, who has been chairman for the last three years.

“NRRA is the public voice of risk retention and purchasing groups with a successful record of defending the industry against challenges to the authority of RRGs to operate in some states; I am confident in the future growth of this important sector of the insurance industry,” Mr. Labrie said.
