Tom BeLusko was recently promoted to his new role as CIS’ underwriting director. Tom is a familiar face to many of CIS members and agents. He has a strong reputation for providing good risk management and insurance services for Oregon’s cities. Many members know BeLusko through his more than 20 years at the Assured Partners/WSC Agency. His career has led him to work with many CIS members and agency partners. These strong relationships with members and key partners will serve him very well in his new role.

As CIS Underwriting Director, BeLusko now oversees underwriting, data analytics, marketing, and member communications. He will be getting the word out about what the CIS underwriting
department does for members. In addition, he will make sure CIS’ coverage agreements are  exceptional, so they meet the needs of cities and counties.

In his new role, BeLusko will work closely with re-insurers and other insurance carriers to provide the limits and coverages the CIS trust needs. He will also help support the CIS underwriting team to review and price exposure to protect the overall risk exposure of the CIS Property/Casualty Trust, while facilitating the necessary operations of the CIS membership.

“Over the years some of my proudest moments in the insurance industry have been the honor of employing quality people, offering advancement of those employees, and watching success bloom,” BeLusko said. “At CIS there are serious people performing serious work and that same opportunity exists to dig into our service-mission to help our members protect their interests and those of their communities.”

BeLusko has a solid reputation for adeptly serving public entities across the state. “I had great pride in servicing Oregon’s public entities,” he said. “From cities, counties, fire districts, school districts, and other special districts, the ability to be the very special, trusted, and reliable resource to all things insurance and risk management was a remarkable
opportunity for me. To help support and protect the programs and efforts of local government is
what made me want to continue the evolution of my career at CIS. I look forward to serving our
members — as well as working with our dedicated agents — in this new capacity.”
