Re: Nomination of Edelfrida A. Ada, Member, Banking and Insurance Board

Dear Senator San Nicolas:

My name is John Carlos. I am the Regulatory Administrator of the Department of Revenue and Taxation (DRT).

Mr. Chairman, I fully support the confirmation of Edelfrida A. Ada to be a member of the Banking and Insurance Board.

Edelfrida A. Ada is known as Del by most employees at the DRT. I have known Del since 1987 when I started to work for the Insurance Securities Banking and Real Estate Branch of the DRT. I can vouch that as a Regulatory Examiner, Del is fair in her interaction with the public but firm in making sure that applicants for licenses for real estate and insurance comply with the law and regulations thereto. Del retired around 2005.

Del has been a member of the Banking and Insurance Board for six (6) years since 2009. She finds time to attend the board meetings. She votes what she feels is good for the protection of consumers and fair to the financial institutions

For all of the foregoing, I respectfully support the confirmation of Edelfrida A. Ada to be a member of the Banking and Insurance Board.

Sincerely,

VcJ:4ttk @e1HN CARLOS Regulatory Administrator

Hafa Adai Mr. Chair, Senators and Members of the Committee

I support the nomination of reappointment for Delfrida (Del) Ada as a Board Member to the Insurance and Banking Board. I've known Del for over 30 years both professionally and personally. Del is a dedicated woman with high ethical standards. Del retired from the insurance and Banking Division after 36 years, her expertise in Insurance and Banking is certainly helpful to the decision making or processes that have to be made. Del continues to be very active in her current role and her background makes her as asset to this Board. During the past few years, Del has contributed and was involved with several new policies, adopted rules when needed and is very vocal on issues.

Being a Board Member will not make you rich nor is it glamorous. We must appreciate and applaud these individuals who volunteer their time for these positions. Most of them hold full time jobs and have families but have graciously accepted the challenge and responsibiiity of overseeing the processes and policies that they're appointed to.

Del Ada has been on the Board for several years and has made great contributions based on her experience and knowledge; I strongly recommend her reappointment.
