FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NAIC SUMMER NATIONAL MEETING CANCELLED
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 25, 2011) — The National
Association of Insurance Commissioners has decided to cancel its Summer
National Meeting, which was scheduled for August 29-September 1 in
Philadelphia. More than 1,500 insurance regulators, industry
representatives and interested parties had registered to attend the
conference.
“In evaluating the potential threat of Hurricane Irene, our decision to
cancel the meeting was informed by considering the safety of all attendees
and members,” said Susan E. Voss, NAIC President and Iowa Insurance Commissioner.
“The first priority for all state regulators is responding to disasters and
we are fully committed to assisting the states affected by this disaster.”
“Many of our members and attendees had already decided to cancel travel
plans due to their responsibilities for assisting consumers in disaster
situations, as well as weather-related travel safety concerns,” said
Therese M. (Terri) Vaughan, NAIC Chief Executive Officer. “As the storm
subsides, we will re-evaluate the priorities and establish next steps for
conducting business.”
Information about committee work will be updated regularly on the NAIC
website at www.naic.org.
The NAIC Fall National Meeting is scheduled for November 3-6 in
Washington, D.C.
