Bell, President of the National Association of Insurance Commissioner (NAIC), and Alabama’s Chief Insurance Regulator will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming teleconference entitled: “NASD Rule 2821 Amendment No.4: Best Practices Explored.” This 2-hour event is scheduled on August 2, 2007, Thursday at 1:00 PM EST.
