BISMARCK (AP) — Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has fired its president and chief executive officer.

Mike Unhjem has been the Blues' top executive since 1991.

The insurer says its 13-member board voted to fire him.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has been under fire for a Caribbean retreat last week attended by Unhjem and more than 30 sales employees and guests.

Unhjem was hired by the insurer in 1986 as its attorney and vice president of corporate affairs. Earlier, Unhjem worked as a lawyer in Jamestown and served 12 years in the North Dakota state House.
