Chairman's Message to NYSIF Policyholders

March 12, 2009

On behalf of the New York State Insurance Fund Board of Commissioners, I thank you for choosing NYSIF to fulfill your workers’ compensation insurance and disability benefits needs.

Effective at the close of business on March 5th, the Board accepted the resignation of former Executive Director David Wehner. The Board designated Deputy Directors Thomas Gleason and Shirley Stark to perform the duties of the Executive Director, until such time as a new Executive Director is appointed. These two individuals are outstanding public servants, in whose abilities I have great confidence.

NYSIF has a long, proud tradition of safeguarding workers and protecting families. For more than 95 years, NYSIF professionals have promoted a healthy and accident-free workplace for each of its policyholders and employees.

I want to reassure you that NYSIF remains committed to serving the businesses, injured workers and people of New York State. NYSIF’s dedicated workforce will continue to serve the insurance needs of our policyholders by providing outstanding customer service. Once again, I thank you for choosing NYSIF.  

NYSIF: Then... Now... Always

Sincerely,

Robert H. Hurlbut
Chairman
