BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Former NAPSLO President Kurt Bingeman dies

Kurt Bingeman, 66, a former president of the National Association of Professional Surplus Lines Offices Ltd., died at his home Monday, NAPSLO said.

Mr. Bingeman, who was president of Kansas City, Missouri-based NAPSLO in 1991-92, was a majority owner and chairman and CEO of Buffalo, New York-based wholesaler Russell Bond & Co. Inc. Mr. Bingeman began his career with Russell Bond in 1972 and purchased the firm in 1983, NAPSLO said Wednesday in a statement.

He was also a partner in Chevy Chase, Maryland-based Access Funding L.L.C., which offers insurance premium financing through insurance brokers.

In addition to serving as NAPSLO president, Mr. Bingeman served on the NAPSLO board as a director from 1987-1993 and had continued to serve on the Derek Hughes/NAPSLO Education Foundation board as a director since 1991, among other professional activities, NAPSLO said.

“Kurt's commitment to our industry and NAPSLO was invaluable, and he will be greatly missed as a dedicated professional and exceptional volunteer to the Association's efforts for many, many years,” NAPSLO Executive Director Brady Kelley said in the statement.

Information on Mr. Bingeman's cause of death was not immediately available.

Memorial donations may be made in Mr. Bingeman's name to Canisius College, in care of Russell Bond & Co. Inc., 866 Ellicott Square Building, 295 Main St., Buffalo, NY 14203.
