NAMIC Overview

For more than a century, NAMIC has made a significant and lasting impact on the property/casualty insurance industry.

NAMIC's foundation is built upon its diversity in membership and grassroots strength. Companies range in size from one person operating a small farm mutual company offering property insurance for wind and fire exposures to some of the world's largest insurers providing comprehensive commercial and personal lines coverages. NAMIC benefits member companies through government relations, public affairs, education, arbitration services and insurance programs.

Membership in NAMIC is not restricted to mutual insurance companies. Stock insurance companies, reinsurance companies and industry vendor companies may also apply to become members of the association and enjoy the benefits membership can bring.

Founded in 1895, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) is a full-service national trade association serving the property/casualty insurance industry with more than 1,400 member companies that underwrite more than 40 percent of the property/casualty insurance premium in the United States. NAMIC members are small farm mutual companies, state and regional insurance companies, risk retention groups, national writers, reinsurance companies, and international insurance giants. Together, we are NAMIC.

NAMIC benefits member companies through advocacy, public policy and member services. Information about the association, its member companies and the property/casualty insurance industry can be found at NAMIC Online, www.namic.org.

For more than a century, NAMIC has had a single, primary commitment: representing the interests of property/casualty insurance companies.

NAMIC values mutuality: Mutual insurance is a successful, stable, and policyholder focused company structure that provides distinct perspective and contributions to the insurance marketplace.

NAMIC values member involvement: The insurance industry and this association cannot achieve their potential without the active involvement of competent and committed volunteers.

NAMIC values member interaction: Member company staffs build mutually beneficial long-term relationships through knowledge sharing and common experiences.

NAMIC values collaboration: Whenever possible, the association seeks to work with industry organizations, regulators, and others to achieve common goals.

There are no permanent seats on any association committee or board; every regular company member has an equal voice.
