Welcome to the 2021 NAIC Summer National Meeting
It is my pleasure to welcome you for this year’s Summer National Meeting from the host city of Columbus, Ohio. Although the NAIC has held many national meetings over its150 year history this is the first time it’s being held as a hybrid event. This format provides us the opportunity to meet in person while at the same time engaging those not able to travel, and allowing us all to connect in a way we never have before.
Since 1871, the NAIC has been committed to protecting the public interest, promoting competitive markets, and improving the state regulation of insurance. This meeting provides an outstanding opportunity for interested parties to gain insight into the industry, share experiences and provide expertise on issues impacting consumers. The NAIC’s Center for Insurance Policy and Research will present a special session titled, “Casualty Catastrophe Risk in the Time of Social Inflation: Landscape, Modeling and Action.” I hope everyone is able to attend the special session on Tuesday, August 17, at 8:30 a.m. EDT, as we learn more about this topic and the expectations of the industry.
I look forward to hearing about our strategic priorities from everyone attending and reconnecting with each of you. I encourage you to utilize the event app to help take full advantage of what this meeting has to offer.
And to those attending in person, welcome to the city of Columbus, Ohio
Sincerely,
David Altmaier

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.
