Why is Advocacy Important? Find Out December 17

Big I Illinois Association 101: Advocacy

Who’s making sure our legislators hear the voices of independent agents? Who is reading 100’s of proposed bills that may affect your business? YOUR Association. (Especially Evan!)

Join Evan Manning, Director of Government Relations, and the Big I Illinois team on Tuesday, December 17 at 9:00 am to find out what’s happening behind the scenes in the legislative process and how you can play a role by communicating with your legislators.

Lobbying is a key component to any successful organization, especially in Illinois. Interests opposed to some of our priorities spend millions of dollars each year on lobbying and political campaign contributions in an effort to attack the insurance industry and the small business owners we often sell to. Not only does our team lobby the legislature but we work closely with the Illinois Department of Insurance, constitutional offices and dozens of state agencies.

It’s important for insurance professionals to have a deep understanding of our advocacy efforts as well as understand how our Political Action Committee funds are used.

There is no charge for this virtual session and is NOT filed for CE, but registration is required.
