Anthony
Aquilino
The last few years have demonstrated the rapid and
often unexpected changes in our industry.
We have undergone unprecedented scrutiny and
faced unimagined catastrophic risks and losses both man-made and natural
as well as new regulatory and statutory structures governing the
insurance industry.
All of this has brought challenges to our
industry and our members. In a state as large and diverse as New York
it is not always possible, even in good economic times, to stay one step
ahead.
In these difficult times of uncertainty, we are
faced with navigating unchartered waters while staying apprised of
changing legislation, regulation and a desperate economy.
With this in mind, CIBGNY offers its members
forums to network with other industry professionals and to establish new
business contacts while sharing experiences on the latest industry
trends and issues.
In addition, our “Gold Ribbon” partners
program allows organizations the opportunity to publicly recognize their
organization's commitment to support and endorse the highest
professional standards in our industry. The benefits generated from your
membership in the CIBGNY flow not only to you as an insurance
professional but to each of our clients.
Additionally, through our General Meetings,
Golf Outing and Annual Dinner Dance, members are afforded the
opportunity to discuss technology, industry issues and useful products
to their practice.
Our increased attendance at all our events
each year is proof within itself of your membership value.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to report that CIBGNY
is committed to doing everything we can to ensure that this Association
continues to provide programs and opportunities that reflect the
membership’s interests and needs and to explore emerging issues for the
benefit of the industry as a whole.
We hope to see you at our upcoming events, and encourage you to invite
your colleagues to join our network of member professionals.
