Application Period for Â鶹´«Ã½ 2025 Consumer Participation Program Ends Oct. 31, 2024
The application window for the Â鶹´«Ã½' (Â鶹´«Ã½) 2025 Consumer Participation Program closes tomorrow, Oct. 31, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. CT.
Established in 1992, the Consumer Participation Program promotes consumer representation and interaction with Â鶹´«Ã½ Members by providing for qualified applicants to participate in Â鶹´«Ã½ meetings as individuals or as consumer representatives of consumer organizations. The Â鶹´«Ã½ 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.
One option for individuals to participate in the Consumer Participation Program is for the Â鶹´«Ã½ to provide funding in the form of travel expense reimbursement. To qualify for such funding, an individual candidate shall have a commitment to representing consumer interests in insurance regulation, be willing to fully participate in Â鶹´«Ã½ national meetings and related conference calls, have demonstrated expertise and experience on insurance-related issues addressed by the Â鶹´«Ã½, and require Â鶹´«Ã½ funding in order to fully participate in Â鶹´«Ã½ 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.
Individuals who do not need funding may apply to participate in the Consumer Participation Program as unfunded consumer representatives.
All applicants are required to complete the application, sign the Conflict-of-Interest Statement, and attach all requested documents. Applicants will be selected in December and notified prior to the Spring National Meeting in 2025.
