Barbara Richardson has been appointed commissioner of the Nevada Division of Insurance. She will join the division in March.
The appointment came after a months-long nationwide recruitment to fill the vacancy after the resignation of Scott Kipper in July 2015. Amy Parks, who has served as acting commissioner during the interim, will resume her primary responsibilities and duties as the chief insurance counsel at the division.
Commissioner Richardson has served as the director of operations and fraud for the New Hampshire Insurance Department for the past 11 years, where she managed multiple units including business, budget, IT, human resources, criminal investigation, licensing, and premium tax collection. In that capacity, she served as a state representative at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and was active on a number of working groups and task forces.
Previously, she was an adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and Franklin Pierce College. Prior to that, she worked as a private practice attorney after graduating from the University of New Hampshire School of Law.
Commissioner Richardson earned a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Vassar College and a M.B.A. in finance from Loyola University.
