Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is a not-for-profit alternative insurer.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday appointed Jillian Hasner, Erin Knight and Nelson Telemaco to the Citizens Property Insurance Board of Governors.

Hasner, of Boca Raton, serves as the President and CEO of Take Stock in Children, a group that helps children from low-income families succeed in school by connecting them with mentors. She is a graduate of Nyack College.

“She has been involved with the Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Leadership Florida, United States Global Leadership Coalition and the Florida Federal Judicial Nominating Commission for the Southern District,” the Governor’s Office said in a press release.

Knight, of Coral Gables, is president of Monument Capital Management and a Florida State University graduate.

“Previously, she was Miami market president for Stonegate Bank and a senior vice president with Regions Bank,” the press release adds. “Knight has volunteered her time with the Junior League of Miami, March of Dimes, The Miami Foundation and the Baptist Health Foundation.”

Telemaco of Coral Springs is the CEO of Proximity Works and a University of Pennsylvania graduate.

“Previously, he was senior vice president at Sompo International, Principal at Allianz Risk Transfer and vice president at American International Group,” the press release says.

The Florida Legislature created Citizens Property Insurance Corporation in 2002 as a not-for-profit alternative insurer. The corporation exists to provide insurance to property owners who cannot find coverage in the private insurance market.

    Citizens needs to be sunset. Let lenders form a co-op to cover difficult to insure properties. Our State Government need to get out of this business.
