and an influential authority on insurance issues in New York State.

founded in 1882, and the New York State Insurance Association.
Why
should you participate in the NYIA PAC?
PACs have proven to be an effective tool in the public policymaking
arena. They provide opportunities for influence and access to
key lawmakers. Simply stated, larger PACs provide greater opportunities
for members to be seen and heard with respect to their issues
and to influence public policy outcomes. Each pledge of support
from every member is vital to our efforts to shape the debate
on important insurance issues. Political decisions can directly
impact your organization's ability to achieve its business objectives
and your bottom line. The success of your organization depends
on its ability to mount an effective lobby for change. Our success
will be impacted and measured by the level of our commitment.
All PAC contributions are voluntary. Your participation will go
a long way toward securing an even stronger voice in the future
of this industry.
