Regional Roundtable

Moderated by: NYIA Board Member, Siobhan Davey, President and CEO, Broome Co-operative Insurance Company

Held On: Wednesday | October 13
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (ET)
Virtual Program

DETAILS

New York is a unique marketplace. The distinct traits of the state’s market make it that much more important we work together as an industry and foster strong relationships as colleagues. Property and casualty insurance companies share many common challenges, but there are particular similarities for regional companies that focus on New York or a select number of states. Learning from each other as industry partners is one of our greatest tools. This virtual roundtable discussion will be an excellent opportunity to talk about the vast array of issues companies are facing. We have topics we are ready to address, but first on the agenda are always the items you would like to bring to the conversation. Please send the top three issues on your mind to Kaitlyn Emory at kemory@nyia.org so we can include them on the agenda.

Submitted topics from members that will be on the agenda include the impact of technology on distribution models, legislative effort to ban the use of lead paint exclusions and legislation prohibiting the use of dog breed that advanced in both houses.

Fees: $30 for members, $100 for nonmembers
