KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Oct. 31, 2023)
Application Period for 海角论坛 2024 Consumer Participation Program Ends Today
The application window for the 海角论坛' (海角论坛) 2024 Consumer Participation Program closes today, Oct. 31, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. CT.
Established in 1992, the Consumer Participation Program promotes consumer representation and interaction with 海角论坛 Members by providing for qualified applicants to participate in 海角论坛 meetings as individuals or as consumer representatives of consumer organizations. The 海角论坛 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 海角论坛 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 海角论坛 national meetings and related conference calls, have demonstrated expertise and experience on insurance-related issues addressed by the 海角论坛, and require 海角论坛 funding in order to fully participate in 海角论坛 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 2024.
