Lansing, MI – Gov. Rick Snyder recently announced the appointment of Ann Flood as the new Director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS). Flood has been serving as the department’s chief deputy director. Flood replaces Kevin Clinton, who was recently appointed State Treasurer.
The governor noted that Flood has more than 25 years of experience in the legal, insurance and health care fields.
“Ann Flood is a natural successor to Kevin to lead our team at DIFS,” said Snyder. “She has been there from the start and I look forward to her continuing that great work as director of the department.”
While serving as the DIFS chief deputy director, Flood was responsible for the department’s Office of General Counsel, Office of Insurance Evaluation, Office of Insurance Rates and Forms, the Budget Office, Information Technology Services and Human Resources. She previously served as the executive vice president and chief operating officer of American Physicians Capital Inc., and prior to that was senior vice president, corporate secretary and legal counsel of ProNational Insurance Co. Flood is a member of the State Bar of Michigan and is a registered nurse. She received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Michigan and a law degree from Wayne State University.
Both appointments are effective Nov. 1.
The appointments are subject to the advice and consent of the state Senate.
