Former Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson has been named chief executive officer of the NAIC. Prior to retiring from the Senate in 2012 after two terms, Nelson served as governor of Nebraska from 1990-1998. He also served as executive vice president and chief of staff for the NAIC (1982-1985) and director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance (1975-1976).
