              SIXTH DISTRICT IS HOME TO NEW NAHU PRESIDENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HOWARD COBLE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 17, 2001

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, the Sixth District of North Carolina is proud 
to report today that one of its own has been elected as the new leader 
of a national industry association. I rise today to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues the inauguration of the new president of the 
National Association of Health Underwriters, Bynum Tuttle, a friend and 
constituent of mine from Denton, North Carolina.
  I was delighted to learn of Bynum's new position not only because it 
is the capstone of a remarkable career in service to his clients, but 
also because he is one of the friendliest people I know.
  A graduate of North Carolina State University, Bynum began his health 
insurance career in 1978 with Pilot Life Insurance Company in 
Greensboro with a large territory including portions of northwest North 
Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. A true entrepreneur at heart, he 
soon decided to open his own brokerage firm in Greensboro.
  Bynum's dynamic leadership with the North Carolina Association of 
Health Underwriters soon became obvious to his peers, and he rapidly 
rose to the presidency of the state association. From there, he quickly 
earned the trust of the NAHU leadership and assumed new 
responsibilities and opportunities to serve across the country. With 
his experience has come the wisdom to know that to lead, which he says 
is ``influence--nothing more, nothing less,'' to serve the needs of 
others.
  In these difficult times, Mr. Speaker, we will be called upon, in 
many small ways, to do great things for our country. Under Bynum's 
leadership, I believe we can count on the expertise and support of NAHU 
and its membership. The Sixth District of North Carolina is proud to 
say that one of its own--Bynum Tuttle--is the new president of the 
National Association of Health Underwriters.
