IRMI, was founded in 1978 primarily to educate risk managers, insurance agents/brokers, underwriters, and other insurance professionals by conducting seminars. In conjunction with these programs, risk and insurance publications were developed to provide what we felt was much-needed information in an evolving industry. So popular were these publications that, by the mid-1980s, publishing had become our primary focus.IRMI publishes the most comprehensive (and, we think, practical) risk and insurance library of any publisher. No longer in print form, the IRMI KnowledgeBase has expanded to more than 75,000 pages and is available online through our own platform, IRMI Online, and as part of Vertafore’s ReferenceConnect service (formerly SilverPlume). IRMI also publishes an extensive library of free articles, white papers, a glossary, and other content on IRMI.com, one of the most visited websites for risk professionals. With more than 6 million visitors each year (and that number is growing steadily), IRMI.com has broad appeal, providing content on a wide range of topics. IRMI also offers a number of free email newsletters that serve as companions to both our free content and our subscription-based reference services. |

The NAIC holds three national meetings a year, in the spring, summer, and fall throughout the United States. Members of state insurance departments, NAIC staff, and insurance industry representatives gather to learn about new, upcoming NAIC initiatives on emerging topics in the field of insurance regulation. During the meeting, committees, task forces, and working groups gather to discuss and review drafts of new and revised model laws, guidelines, and white papers. All amendments and committee actions are recorded in a memorandum and made available on the NAIC website.
Following every national meeting, the official Proceedings of the NAIC is published. The Proceedings serve as the permanent record of all NAIC actions, including model laws and regulations, as well as committee and task force minutes and reports. The current and some archival issues of the Proceedings are publicly available for download in PDF format on the NAIC Publications department website.

The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers

|
United States
|
The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers has a long history rich in tradition. The backbone of The Council was established in 1913, when the National Association of Casualty & Surety Agents formed and held its first convention in Cincinnati to discuss state regulation. The association, which later became The Council following a name change in October 1993, held its first formal meeting at The Greenbrier in West Virginia in 1914. With the exception of a few years in the 1920’s and during World War II, industry leaders have been meeting in a unique setting on an annual basis ever since.
The annual Insurance Leadership Forum was a place where leading agents, brokers and companies came together in a powerful setting to discuss issues that had an impact on the industry and consider what it would take to protect commercial enterprise from risks. In time, the meeting took on a life of its own and the aura surrounding it remains to this day.
In recent years, The Council has become the leading advocate for commercial insurance brokers on both property/casualty and employee benefits issues. The Council keeps brokers’ interests at center stage as legislation is proposed on Capitol Hill, as policies are developed at the White House and as federal agencies address important industry issues in the regulatory process.
Today, The Council is home to 200 of the top commercial insurance and employee benefits brokerages worldwide. Council members are market leaders who annually place 85 percent of U.S. commercial property/casualty insurance premiums and administer billions of dollars in employee benefits accounts. With expansive international reach, The Council fosters industry-wide relationships around the globe by engaging lawmakers, regulators and stakeholders to promote the interests of its members and the valuable role they play in the mitigation of risk for their clients. |

The National Alliance story began in 1969 in Austin, Texas, when a small group of independent agents approached insurance professor Dr. William T. Hold to develop a program for teaching advanced insurance topics to Texas’ agents. The product of this meeting was the Certified Insurance Counselors (CIC) Program which became the foundation and the cornerstone of The National Alliance.
Housed in a small portable building, with an original staff of three, Hold and company developed the CIC institutes, and the demand for these real-world, practical programs steadily grew within the industry.
CIC co-founder James K. Ruble [1923–1996] shared Dr. Hold’s vision for establishing and directing a national, high-quality continuing education program for independent insurance agents. The principles Mr. Ruble represented— the freedom to learn and the commitment to ongoing personal and professional development—live on through the seminars named in his honor. James K. Ruble Seminars are a tribute to his leadership and the high ethical standards he represented.
As the number of CIC participants and designation-holders mushroomed, long-term relationships were established with state and national agents associations, and the program was taken nationwide.
Today, The National Alliance still occupies the same corner north of downtown Austin, but now two, two-story office buildings house more than 100 employees on the site. The greatest strengths and challenges of The National Alliance remain in anticipating the imminent needs of the industry, drawing on the vast intellectual resources represented by insurance agents and faculty, and continually providing the best insurance and risk management education available. |

The Turkish Insurance Institute Foundation (TII) was established jointly by Milli Re and the Association of Turkish Insurance and Reinsurance Companies on May 29, 1970. The purpose of the TII is to work to further the penetration and development of insurance in Turkey, advance the insurance business, train staff for the insurance sector, identify and review economic, legal and technical matters and issues in all insurance branches including social insurance, and help the Turkish insurance industry be highly positioned in economic and social life and development.
Having offered training service to more than 30% of the Turkish insurance industry employees since its foundation, TII organizes short-term training programs, training programs on legislation, and company training in various topics. In addition to the “Basic Insurance Training Program”, which is a long-term insurance training course opened annually since 1970, TII also organizes “Advanced Insurance Training Programs”.
Within the frame of the “Compulsory Training for Insurance Agents Technical Personnel“ co-organized with TOBB (The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey) in 2009, the TII provided training to 35,000 agents and 5,000 bank employees via 70 trainers in 18 provinces. Furthermore, the TII signed a protocol on September 22, 2010 with the Vocational Qualifications Authority established by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security with the objective of setting up and running the National Vocational Qualification System aligned with the EU. The protocol is aimed at establishing professional standards and vocational qualifications in the Turkish insurance sector. In parallel with this effort, TII became one of the eight institutions from European countries to be selected to the Committee for Recognition of European Insurance Sector Qualifications formed by Eficert (European Financial Certification Organization).
Besides being an active member of Eficert, the TII collaborates with the Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers (FAIR), Institute for Global Insurance Education (IGIE) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
Based on its commitment to social responsibility, the TII held 26 “Workshops for Improving the Quality of Insurance Education” and 6 “Raising Insurance Awareness in Society” seminars at universities over the past four years. In addition, the TII creates sectoral data and makes them available and accessible, in an effort to create resources for academic studies in insurance and contribute to the advancement of the sector. |
