209 Foreign Regulators to Participate in 2026 NAIC Spring Virtual International Fellows Program
After celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) International Fellows Program is kicking off its 2026 virtual spring session today. More than 200 insurance regulators from 42 jurisdictions will participate in the spring program, which runs through May 8. Both numbers are records for the spring session.
The intensive course will support foreign regulators’ strong interest in learning about several aspects of the U.S. state-based insurance regulatory system and serve as another outlet for the NAIC and insurance regulators worldwide to connect. Fellows will have the opportunity to engage with NAIC technical experts to gain deeper insights into how insurance is regulated in the U.S. and their role in supporting the states.
With international collaboration remaining vital to strong, secure, and stable insurance markets, the program continues to draw high numbers of participation.

About the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
