Clark

BEND — Oregon’s SAIF, a not-for-profit workers’ compensation insurance company, announced the hiring of Scott Clark to serve as its new regional operations director for SAIF’s Central and Eastern regions.

Clark previously served as a senior safety management consultant, manager of SAIF’s safety innovation program and technical adviser to the safety division.

“Scott’s experience in safety and health, genuine appreciation and support of our employees, and drive to continually improve how we serve our customers are just a few of the many reasons Scott is a perfect fit for this role,” said Christine Vrontakis, vice president of policyholder services at SAIF.

Clark began his new role after the retirement of Mike Elliott, who stepped down after 30 years with SAIF.

Clark has nearly 30 years of experience in workers’ compensation. Born and raised in Maine, he graduated with a degree in occupational safety and health from Keene State College in New Hampshire. His career spans both insurance carrier and insurance agency roles. Clark has lived in Bend since 2001.
