Potter will continue as Acting Lieutenant Governor in throughout the period of Governor Bryanโ€™s and Lieutenant Governor Roachโ€™s absence.

The NAIC provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. Lieutenant Governor Roach currently serves as the Secretary/Treasurer for the Southeast Zone which includes fourteen of the Southeast states, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

The Lieutenant Governorโ€™s participation at annual NAIC conferences and meetings is fully funded by the NAIC.

Lieutenant Governor Roach will return to the Territory on Friday, June 27, when he will resume the role of Acting Governor until Governor Bryanโ€™s return on June 29.
