NAIC Concludes Its 2025 Fall International Fellows Program, Bidding Farewell to 10 Foreign Regulators
This week, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) concluded its 2025 Fall International Fellows Program in New York City. Ten foreign regulators from eight countries completed the program with a closing session at the NAIC’s Capital Markets & Investment Analysis Office. Fellows learned how the NAIC keeps state insurance regulators updated on investment risks and trends in the market, held a dialogue with an NAIC-funded consumer representative, and participated in an Industry Roundtable.
The full in-depth Fellows Program entailed a week-long training at the NAIC Central Office in Kansas City, MO, where participants learned how insurance regulation works in the U.S. and how the NAIC supports state-based regulation. Participants then worked for five weeks at a state insurance department, seeing firsthand how states approach financial regulation, market conduct, licensing, and many other aspects of regulation.
Insurance departments in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia served as hosts for the fall program.

The fall 2025 session marks the end of the NAIC celebrating its 20th year of carrying out the International Fellows Program. The program fosters global regulatory collaboration and knowledge exchange through hands-on experience and training in U.S. state-based insurance regulation and will continue to do so in 2026 and beyond.
