Robert Ford 

CIC, CISR, CPIA, CRIS, MLIS, CLCS, ERIS 

Bob began his insurance career at 19 when he was hired by Nodak Mutual Insurance Company as a territory producer in Wahpeton, North Dakota, before transferring to Dickinson North Dakota. He returned in 1978 to Devils Lake, North Dakota to work in and purchase the family run agency.  He sold the agency in 1998 and continued a 48-year career as a CEO, Regional Lead., Claims Dept. Lead, Personal Lines Dept. Lead, and Producer.

Over the years Bob involved himself in the insurance industry in several ways.  Early in his career he trained with the IIAA of Iowa at the University of Iowa on an annual basis with their agency management school led by nationally known Dr. Emmett Vaughn.  These sessions provided Bob with a strong foundation in understanding the insurance industry and agency-company relationships.

Bob served on the North Dakota PIA (Professional Insurance Agents) Board of Directors for 13 years, including eight years as chair of the education committee, his favorite role. He valued this position because he believes a strong technical education is essential for success in the insurance industry. Additionally, Bob was honored to serve as North Dakota PIA President and National Director.

Bob furthered his education by earning his CIC designation in 2001 and his CISR designation in 2006. He also obtained the CLCS (Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist), MLIS (Management Liability Insurance Specialist), ERIS (Energy Risk Insurance Specialist), and CRIS (Construction Risk Insurance Specialist) designations. Enjoying education so much, Bob continues his educational pursuits by teaching many insurance workshops each year around the country and is also a member of the national faculty for The Risk & Insurance Education Alliance.
