After law school, Glenn began his career at the age of 22, when he was elected to the North Dakota House of Representatives. Six years later, Glenn continued serving the state as county prosecutor, assistant attorney general, and North Dakota securities commissioner. In 1992, he was elected North Dakota insurance commissioner and re-elected four years later. His colleagues in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners selected Glenn to serve as their president, and he guided a number of initiatives on behalf of the nation's insurance commissioners. In 2001, Glenn became head of Government and Regulatory Affairs for GE Insurance Solutions, and worked in a similar capacity for Swiss Re until joining CEA in 2008.
