Joe Phifer, senior account executive in the Assurant Employee
Benefits’ Dallas Sales Office, was sworn in as president of the
Texas Association of Health Underwriters on May 7, 2015. The
ceremony was held at the trade association’s annual state
convention in San Antonio, Texas.
Phifer will begin serving his one-year term as president in July
2015.
The Texas Association of Health Underwriters (TAHU) is a state
member of the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU).
The organization of agents and insurance company representatives
works to protect consumers by enhancing the professional growth of
its members. NAHU represents nearly 20,000 professional health
insurance agents and brokers who service the insurance needs of
millions of Americans.
“I continue to be impressed with Joe’s tireless commitment to
this association as well as his substantial investment of personal
time,” said Marc Warrington, president of Assurant Employee
Benefits. “He has garnered the trust and respect of everyone within
the organization. He brings a professional level of leadership and
passion to his position with the association, just as he does for
Assurant Employee Benefits.”
Phifer’s background with TAHU began in 1997 when he became a
member of the East Texas Association of Health Underwriters
(ETAHU). He began his volunteer work with the TAHU in 2003.
In the past four years on the TAHU board, Phifer has served on
TAHU’s executive committee in all four elected board positions.
Through his work on the executive committee, Phifer has been
responsible for direct reports from board members and committees
with a goal of improving TAHU processes and overall member
experience.
During his career, Phifer earned his MHP, RHU, REBC, and SGS
designations. He was named ETAHU Outstanding Board Member in
2004-2005 and received ETAHU’s highest honor, the Founder’s Award
in 2007. The same year he was also recognized with TAHU’s Volunteer
of the Year award. Most recently, he received the Outstanding TAHU
Texan of the Year award in 2013.
“I’m fortunate to work for a company that allows me to be
engaged in these efforts and supports me in learning more about
what’s happening in our industry,” Phifer said. “TAHU’s theme for
the year is ‘continue to find new doors.’ Despite facing a number
of challenges, our members continue to find new ways to positively
impact customers and are providing expertise that is more valuable
today than it’s ever been.”
