NAPSLO summer interns participate in a nine-week program. This year, 17 NAPSLO college interns each spent five weeks with a NAPSLO-member Surplus Lines insurance company and four weeks with a NAPSLO-member wholesale brokerage firm.

Here is a look at the many ways the Derek Hughes/NAPSLO Educational Foundation supports insurance professionals and improves understanding of E&S lines.

The Association has come a long way since its first annual meeting in 1975, when 62 people attended.

A valuable NAPSLO member benefit is access to a variety of high-quality education programs tailored to the surplus lines industry.
