With a new administration in power, an economic crisis in full bloom and insurance at the top of the news because of problems at American International Group, there never was a more critical time for independent agents to make their voices heard in Washington, a leading producer group says.
“This is the most important legislative conference we have had in over a decade,” said Robert A. Rusbuldt, president and chief executive officer of the Alexandria, Va.-based Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, whose members will gather in Washington, D.C. for their annual conference from April 29 through May 1.
“Congress is about to determine who will regulate independent agents and brokers, where they will be regulated, and how they will be regulated,” noted Mr. Rusbuldt. “As a business owner or an independent agent, those are fundamental issues. They are issues that can make or break any business.”
