Dan Finn elected NSSTA President; calls for “greater focus on structures’ benefits”
Dan Finn, a Newport Beach (CA) structured settlement expert, will be the
next president of the National Structured Settlements Trade
Association, NSSTA announced today. Elected unanimously by NSSTA’s Board
of Directors, Finn’s one-year term will begin in May 2011.
“For 25 years, structured settlements have made financial security and
tax-free income possible for those who need it most,” said Finn. “It’s
an honor to be asked to lead NSSTA into its next quarter century of
advocacy. I ran for the presidency to help ensure we keep getting our
message out: Structured Settlements Help People!”
While NSSTA members have improved the lives of tens of thousands of
injured and disabled accident survivors and their families, Finn
believes the structured settlement industry can do more. “Our
organization of dedicated professionals has an amazing story to tell.
Judges, mediators and the general public need to hear more about the
benefits that long-term structured settlement payments provide to so
many people.”
“Our task is to make sure we are the most effective advocate possible
about structured settlements’ financial strength and peace-of-mind,
whether that advocacy is in the media, in courtrooms or on Capitol
Hill.”
Finn is the owner of California-based Finn Financial Group, operating in
partnership with Brant Hickey & Associates. Elected to NSSTA’s
Board of Directors in 2009, he is also a member of the Chartered
Property Casualty Underwriters (CPCU) Society, serving on its Claims,
Reinsurance and Risk Management Committees.
An Affiliate member of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association, he
conducts educational seminars approved by the State Bar of California
for Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Credit.
The former insurance claims trainer, public school teacher and
basketball coach graduated from The Ohio State University with a
Bachelor of Science in Education. He also completed the Certified
Structured Settlement Consultant program, a law-business executive
education program held at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College
of Business and sponsored by the NSSTA.
About structured settlements and the NSSTA:
Recognized and encouraged by the federal tax code since 1983, structured settlements provide strong financial security to victims of physical injuries and their families. Using a tailored stream of payments, a structured settlement provides a long-term payment stream that is completely exempt from state and federal income taxes.
A structured settlement's future payment stream is funded through a highly secure life insurance annuity. For a free handout that describes some of the consumer protection regulations that bolster the security of a structured settlement annuity, please click HERE.
The National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA) represents nearly 1,200 licensed consultant, brokers, insurance companies, and other professionals involved in establishing and administering structured settlements.
