Dear PIA members:

As the results of the 2024 elections are finalized, the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) looks forward to welcoming the new Administration and members of the 119^th Congress to Washington, D.C. We are excited to both introduce ourselves to newly elected lawmakers and enhance our work with those returning to office to continue our advocacy on behalf of independent insurance agents. We will continue to craft, support, and advocate for policies that protect and strengthen the independent agent structure and the key role independent agents play in supporting their clients and local communities.

PIA remains focused on protecting the crucial role of independent agents in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), promoting a long-term reauthorization of the NFIP, reinstating an inflation adjustment for crop insurance agents, protecting the state-based regulation of insurance from proposals that would erode that regime, and promoting PIA’s positions on all the other issues that concern our member agents.

Short-term, we look forward to advancing some of these goals during the lame-duck session of the 118^th Congress, as we prepare for the new Congress to be seated in January.

PIA looks forward to working with the new Administration and members of the 119^th Congress to promote the interests of our independent insurance agent members.

Advocacy is one of our four pillars and when PIA members engage with lawmakers as a group, it strengthens our ability to defend and promote legislation that supports independent agents.

As always, if you have any questions or would like additional information on the work we do, please contact me at any time.

Best,

Mike Skiados
