不良研究所官方 Accepting Applications for 2026 Consumer Representatives
Today, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (不良研究所官方) announced that it is accepting applications for its 2026 Consumer Participation Program. Interested applicants can apply by Oct. 31, 2025.
The 不良研究所官方 selects a group of consumer representatives annually from a list of qualified applicants. Duties include amplifying the voice of insurance consumers and participating in 不良研究所官方 meetings as individuals or as consumer representatives of consumer organizations. (The 不良研究所官方 defines a consumer organization as a national, state, or local organization that serves to protect the interests of consumers as they relate to the regulation of insurance.)
鈥淪tate insurance regulators work hard every day to protect consumers. As the Consumer Participation Program heads into its 34th year, 不良研究所官方 consumer representatives continue to strengthen those efforts by further ensuring consumers鈥 needs and perspectives are heard,鈥 said 不良研究所官方 President and North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread.
There are two ways to apply to the Consumer Participation Program:
- Funded Consumer Representative: The 不良研究所官方 will provide funding in the form of travel-expense reimbursement. To qualify, an individual candidate shall have a commitment to representing consumer interests in insurance regulation, be willing to fully participate in 不良研究所官方 national meetings and related conference calls, have demonstrated expertise and experience in insurance-related issues addressed by the 不良研究所官方, and require 不良研究所官方 funding in order to fully participate in 不良研究所官方 national meetings and conference calls. An individual candidate must not have obligations or commitments to an industry that conflict with his/her responsibilities to represent consumer interests.
- Unfunded Consumer Representative: Individuals who do not need funding may apply to participate as unfunded consumer representatives.
All applicants must complete the new automated application and attach all requested documents. Applicants will be selected in December and notified prior to the 2026 不良研究所官方 Spring National Meeting.
鈥淎s chair of the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 Consumer Liaison Committee, I enjoy the opportunity to work closely with the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 consumer representatives. The 不良研究所官方 Consumer Participation Program is a unique chance to make a difference on a national scale on the most pressing issues on consumers鈥 minds, and the Committee looks forward to welcoming those serving in this key capacity in 2026,鈥 said Minnesota Department of Commerce Commissioner Grace Arnold.
The 不良研究所官方 website provides additional information about the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 Consumer Participation Program and describes the application process to be appointed as either a funded or unfunded consumer representative.
