Many Reasons to Join NABIP

 

NABIP represents more than 100,000 licensed health insurance agents, brokers, consultants and benefit professionals through more than 200 chapters (including NABIP St. Louis Chapter) across America. NABIP members service the health insurance needs of large and small employers as well as people seeking individual health insurance coverage.

 

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY

 

NABIP’s legislative efforts strive to educate officials on both the federal and state levels about the healthcare system and the vital role of the health insurance agent as a consumer resource and advocate. Through a network of key contacts, NABIP cultivates relationships that allow members to clarify issues before bills are written and votes are taken. These relationships are strengthened through actions undertaken by the Health Underwriters Political Action Committee (HUPAC).

In addition, NABIP St. Louis Chapter retains a full-time lobbyist in Jefferson City to monitor state issues affecting brokers.

 

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 

Certification programs, professional designation courses, online resources and conferences are just a few ways NABIP helps members develop professionally as well as personally.  NABIP St. Louis also hosts regular meetings (August —May) where continuing education opportunities are provided.
