Weisz Named Acting Chair of Illinois Work Comp Commission

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has appointed workers’ compensation attorney Mitchel R. Weisz as acting chairman of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.

Amy Masters, who has been heading the organization since the retirement of Paul Rink in late February, will return to her previous position of Secretary of Commission / Operations Manager.

Rink had been with the IWCC since 1991.

In a statement released by the IWCC, Weisz said he hopes to lead the organization in evaluating “ideas generated from both within the Commission and outside sources to progressively improve our implementation of the Workers’ Compensation Act.”
