John Anderson to Lead Starmark

LAKE FOREST, Ill., July 26, 2007 — Star Marketing and Administration Inc. (Starmark) recently announced two key organizational changes to enhance sales effectiveness and growth. John Anderson will now lead Starmark as Division Head, with responsibility for Actuarial, Administration, Marketing, Sales and Underwriting. Anderson will continue to report directly to Starmark President and CEO Warren Schreier.

Additionally, Dave Flores returns to Starmark reporting to Anderson, as Vice President of MGA Sales. Flores will continue to lead sales through the MGA channel for the 51+ life market as well [Trustmark Group Select (TGS) and Trustmark Group Insurance].

“These changes will help Starmark optimize opportunities in all of our medical business segments,” said Schreier. “By restructuring our sales entities we gain synergies, efficiencies and renewed collaboration for continued success. It also allows us to gain insight from one another, share our best practices, and facilitate new sales through new products and opportunities.”

Flores will focus his efforts on the MGA distribution channel, selling Starmark small group, TGS mid-size group and Trustmark Group Insurance products and services. Current Sales Second Vice President Randy Cupp will be assuming a new role leading Sales and Business Development for Affinity, the Trustmark business unit that handles association business.
