For over 45 years, the Association of California
Life and Health Insurance Companies has been the industry's primary voice in Sacramento. Founded in 1962, by Occidental, Pacific Mutual and Cal-West life insurance companies, ACLHIC began as the
Association of California Life Insurance Companies (ACLIC) with an Executive Vice President, Lewis Keller; a secretary and a small office in Oakland.
In 1995, the association's name was changed to the Association of California Life and Health Insurance Companies (ACLHIC), reflecting the increased attention paid to health and disability
insurance issues. From the start, ACLHIC's main goals have been to advance the interests and well-being of the life and health insurance industry before legislative
and administrative bodies. Because trust has been established over the years, legislators know the industry appreciates the broader public policy
concerns, and the industry can be reassured that policy makers are less likely to impose arbitrary or discriminatory prohibitions. |
