Don Bankus, Legal & Corporate Affairs Director

Years with IA&B:

11 plus

Role at IA&B:

Primarily to provide guidance and assistance to members with inquiries relating to statutory and regulatory compliance and navigation; the status and interpretation of existing and pending caselaw as it may apply to dayto-day operations; and industry related topics, as well as to assist with IA&B corporate related matters.

Best part of your job:

Interacting with and getting to know IA&B’s members, and in turn learning from them about who they are and what they do. Before joining IA&B, my perspective regarding insurance professionals and agencies was very limited, but my time here has given me a deep appreciation and respect for what it is they do, and how much they enrich and serve their communities.

What did you do before working at IA&B?

Immediately prior to joining the IA&B, I was employed as a paralegal, with more than 18 years of training and experience in the legal profession, which provided a wellrounded background in many facets and areas of law.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Being from Hershey, which has a very rich golf history, I like to golf (though sometimes lately it doesn’t seem to like me back) and enjoy being outdoors, and I try to stay fit and healthy, at least as the best I can.
