Moderated by: Bill Melchionni, Vice President & Co-Head U.S. State Government Affairs, American International Group, Inc.

Held On: Thursday | January 21
10:00 – 10:45 a.m.
Virtual Meeting

Join us on Thursday, January 21 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) for a virtual Town Hall Meeting with Assembly Insurance Committee Chair Kevin Cahill. NYIA members had the chance to hear from Senate Insurance Committee Chair Neil Breslin in early December on priorities and forecasted areas of focus for the Senate. Now we have the opportunity to hear from Assemblymember Cahill on what he views as the key legislative topics for the Assembly. Given the timing he may also be able to provide his input on the Governor’s Executive Budget and process overall. There will also be a chance to ask any questions about topics of importance to your company. We encourage members to register for this complimentary event to hear what we might expect for the 2021 legislative session.

Town Hall Meeting
With Insurance Committee Chair Senator Neil Breslin
Moderated by: Bill Melchionni, Vice President & Co-Head U.S. State Government Affairs, American International Group, Inc.

Tuesday | December 1
10:00 – 10:45 a.m.
Online Virtual Meeting

Join us on Tuesday, December 1 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) for a virtual meeting with Senate Insurance Committee Chair Neil Breslin. As we close on what has been an unpredictable year, it is important that we engage with key public policymakers moving into 2021. This will be a prime opportunity to gain insights from Senator Breslin on top priorities and forecasted areas of focus for the Legislature. There will also be a chance to ask any questions about topics of importance to your company. We encourage members to register for this complimentary event to hear what may be on the horizon for next year. Assembly Insurance Committee Chair Kevin Cahill was originally slated to participate in this event, but now needs to attend the Assembly Majority Conference that has since been scheduled on this date. We are going to take this opportunity to focus on the Senate at the December 1 Town Hall Meeting, particularly given the recent developments with the elections, and look forward to hearing Senator Breslin’s perspective. We are planning to hold another event after the new year so NYIA members also have an opportunity to hear from Assemblymember Cahill.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

New York is a unique marketplace. The distinct traits of the state’s market make it that much more important that we work 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 our greatest tools. If you enjoy the Small Company Roundtable each year at NYIA’s Annual Conference, then you will not want to miss this virtual roundtable discussion. It 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 in the agenda.
