FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE OFFICIAL CHARITY FOR NAIC FALL
NATIONAL MEETING WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 29, 2007) — The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has selected Serving Those Who SERVE as the official charity for the Association’s 2007 Fall National Meeting in Washington, D.C. The choice continues a year–long focus embracing those who serve our country in the armed forces and their families, as well as those families who have lost loved ones while fighting to protect our freedom. Serving Those Who SERVE is a program of Rebuilding Together that meets the needs of injured soldiers and veterans returning from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The group focuses on providing home modifications and repairs to help ease the transition of the veteran or soldier back into their home. Serving Those Who SERVE focuses on helping veterans who suffer from one or any combination of injuries including loss of sight, loss of hearing, mobility impairments, or traumatic brain injury. In the next two years, the program hopes to assist as many as fifty veterans and their families. “This year, we are pleased to support organizations that will help us to further our vision of communicating to our fellow Americans serving in the military just how much we appreciate their service and their sacrifices,” said Walter Bell, NAIC President and Alabama Insurance Commissioner. “Serving Those Who SERVE is providing important services to members of our military and their families who have made extraordinary sacrifices in Iraq.” Since 2003, the NAIC has worked with charitable organizations in each of the cities where the Association’s quarterly national meetings are held so that it may reach out and give back to the communities who have graciously hosted the NAIC and its Members.
