Shawn Miner, SFM’s VP of Regional Business, Iowa/Nebraska/Kansas Accounts, was appointed to the governing board of the Kansas Workers' Compensation Insurance Plan (KWCIP) earlier this year.

The organization, facilitated by the Kansas Department of Insurance, primarily focuses on the residual workers’ compensation market and the administration of the state’s assigned risk plan. Miner’s three-year term began at the start of 2025.

“SFM started writing business in Kansas in the fall of 2020 and we have steadily been increasing our presence in the state,” Miner said. “Being on the KWCIP is a great opportunity to get involved on the industry side, as well as continuing to build relationships with our agent partners and policyholders.”

The group’s board members include insurance carriers, agents, business leaders and others. It consults and collaborates with the Kansas Insurance Department and the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

“I’m excited to get involved with KWCIP and learn more about the organization and its role in work comp in Kansas,” Miner said.

At SFM, Miner oversees business in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana and Tennessee. He lives in Iowa with his wife and three children.
