Paul Yemm is the New President of the American Association of Public Insurance Adjusters

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC INSURANCE ADJUSTERS ELECTED A NEW PRESIDENT FEBRUARY 10, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The American Association of Public Insurance Adjusters' [AAPIA], Board of Directors elected Paul Yemm as its new president effective February 10, 2020.

"I'm excited to get involved on a national level to further the public adjusting industry," Yemm said.

The AAPIA Board is excited to work with someone with such a depth of experience and ability.

Yemm has been involved with AAPIA since 2009 and began as a public adjuster in 1984. Yemm is also the president of the Mid-Atlantic Association of Public Insurance Adjusters [MAPIA], which term of office ends Spring 2020. As president of MAPIA, Yemm provided the leadership to expand and professionalize the organization, and AAPIA looks forward to Paul applying those talents to AAPIA.

"Back in 1984, there were under 100 public adjusters in Pennsylvania and today there are several thousand," Yemm said.

Yemm is licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Florida and is making strides to expand this list.

Dr. Michael Capilli served as AAPIA president for three years and will now be taking over as Chief Legislative Officer. In his new role, Capilli will work with policyholder attorneys, state regulators, state legislators and United Policyholders to advocate for legislation and regulation that benefits policyholders.

"This is a critical time to take on this engaging role," Capilli said. "We want to be as active as possible in a time where insurance companies are offering new policies that deceive the public into thinking they have the best policies while removing coverages that policyholders think they have."

With these recent moves, AAPIA looks forward to the ongoing success of all of its projects in the coming year.
