Big I New York Advocates Visit Albany
Last Tuesday, more than 40 Big I New York grassroot advocates gathered in Albany to visit with lawmakers and share their concerns about the state of the property and casualty insurance market. Over the course of the day, members engaged more than 50 state lawmakers!
The afternoon began with members of the exclusive Group of 100 (G100) braving the cold as they trekked to the Capitol for visits with lawmakers from every corner of the state. The meetings focused on relationship building and the state of the market. One group was ushered into the Assembly Chamber for an official introduction and photos with their Assembly Member!
The G100 then joined the Board of Directors for a legislative reception at the Law Office of Shenker, Russo, & Clark, LLP, home to Big I New York’s retained government affairs team. Lawmakers were greeted by members serving their legislative districts. Notable attendees included both Insurance Committee Chairs, Senator Jamaal Bailey and Assemblyman David Weprin, and several other lawmakers in top leadership posts.
In addition to building rapport with lawmakers, attendees invited elected officials to attend the New York P&C Insurance Summit. This morning of learning is designed to help policymakers understand how the insurance ecosystem operates, today’s challenges, and attainable solutions.
