CAMDEN — Each year, when it offers insurance exams to those seeking licensure in Maine, the State Bureau of Insurance calls upon experienced insurance executives from around the state to review exam questions for accuracy.

2015 marks the 15th year that Gene McKeever of Allen Insurance and Financial has been invited to be an official ‘subject matter expert’ of questions for the property and casualty insurance producer license exams given by the Maine Bureau of Insurance.

The bureau seeks experienced insurance professionals who have reputations of honesty and integrity plus a high degree of specific and current industry knowledge in their field. This year, McKeever said, the group, which included two attorneys from the Bureau of Insurance, two other consultants and a test editor reviewed the current test and wrote new questions.

McKeever is a commercial insurance producer and consultant, with a special emphasis on the marine industry. He runs Allen Insurance and Financial's in-house license education program. Working with the state Bureau of Insurance is an extension of his belief in the importance of continuing education for all his colleagues, McKeever said in a press release.
