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.

NAMIC is the largest and most diverse national property/casualty insurance trade and political advocacy association in the United States. Its 1,400 member companies write all lines of property/casualty insurance business and include small, single-state, regional, and national carriers accounting for 50 percent of the automobile/ homeowners market and 31 percent of the business insurance market. Since its inception in 1895, NAMIC has been advocating for a strong and vibrant insurance industry.

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.
