You have undoubtedly heard the phrase: "Be politically involved, you can make a difference."
Members of congress want to hear how proposed legislation will affect their constituents because you know more about your company than anyone; Congress needs the benefit of your expertise!
To further enhance its positive impact on legislative decisions like insurance regulation and tort reform, NAMIC is improving its legislative action network.
The new legislative action network will consist of industry executives who are committed to building and maintaining strong personal relationships with their lawmakers and to communicating the associations' position on key public policy issues to these legislators.
By completing this form, you will be asked to provide us with information on how well you know your legislator. Simply complete this very brief survey today.
As a charter member, or "Minuteman" of NAMIC's legislative action network, you will be in the know at the critical moment when a call to action is necessary or when decisions are being made on issues like federal regulation of insurance, legal reform, terrorism insurance, asbestos reform, and small property/casualty insurance company taxation.
NAMIC will provide you the necessary tools such as an action alert notice to help educate your congressional representatives on these issues.
"Becoming a valuable resource to your legislators creates an environment of mutual trust and respect. And, in doing so, these legislators often support you and NAMIC on crucial issues," said David A. Winston, NAMIC senior vice president - federal affairs. "It is very important that you send in this card."

Every two years, NAMIC presents their coveted Benjamin Franklin Public Policy Award© to lawmakers who have supported a stronger insurance market at least 75 percent of the time. This is demonstrated based on their support of NAMIC's position on certain roll call votes taken, or being a principal player/sponsor on legislation affected the property/casualty insurance industry, during the previous Congress.
