profile

NYIA is the oldest state property and casualty insurance trade association in the nation, tracing its roots back to 1882. The current association was formed in 1997 by the unification of the New York Insurance Alliance and the New York State Insurance Association. As the industry changed, stocks, mutuals and cooperatives had far more issues in common than they did differences. It became apparent that the property and casualty insurance industry would be best served by a single voice in New York. That voice is now NYIA.

Vision statement

NYIA will initiate and frame the discussion on property and casualty issues.

mission

The New York Insurance Association‘s mission is to influence the legislative and regulatory environment to promote an insurance market that is viable and strong in order to better serve the insuring public.

core Values

• Honesty and integrity in our dealings

• Collective wisdom

• Valuing diversity of membership

• Persistence in the pursuit of objectives

• Industry leadership

• Equal access

• Equal participation
