Open to other organizations or business enterprises whose mission, purpose and
business objectives are the same as or similar to that of the Insurance Council of
New Jersey. To be eligible, an organization seeking membership must be incorporated
under the laws of any state. This class of membership shall have no voting
privileges.
An associate membership in the Council is a powerful resource that will allow you to
keep informed about developments in the Legislature, Department of Banking &
Insurance and the media.
ICNJ is a trade association of property/casualty insurance companies whose purpose
is to advocate industry views, work to impact the legislative and regulatory
environment and serve as a source of timely and credible information about our
industry. Since the organization's formation in 1977, it has built a solid record
of service to its members. The media, public officials, consumers and most
importantly, our member companies, look to ICNJ for the information and perspective
to better understand and succeed in New Jersey's property/casualty insurance
market.
As an associate member, you would receive copies of ICNJ publications and research
reports, preference for participation in various ICNJ sponsored events, listings
in the Council's Annual Report and Membership Directory and web site, and unique
opportunities to interact with the association's member companies and
representatives.
Because our member companies believe that the foundation and future of the
organization is rooted in the active participation of the membership, ICNJ
associate members are invited to participate in a number of active working groups.
The groups meet via conference call or at ICNJ's offices just outside of the state
capital.
Your associate membership also entitles you to receive the group's regular update
on legislative and regulatory action in Trenton, and on activity that impacts the
state's property/casualty insurance market. Every other week members receive N.J.
Update, an overview of legislative action, media activity, regulatory issues and
other information pertinent to our state's property/casualty insurance industry.
ICNJ also provides its member companies and associate members with unique
opportunities to interact with senior officials from the Department of Banking &
Insurance, the state Legislature and other governmental agencies. We meet regularly
with senior Department officials including Commissioner Holly Bakke, Director of
the Division of Insurance Donald Bryan and others. These meetings provide a unique
opportunity to exchange ideas, concerns and raise issues on future and pending
regulations.
If staying abreast of New Jersey's insurance market is important to your
organization, an ICNJ associate membership would be of tremendous value. The
application process is quite simple. Complete the below application form and
forward it, and a check for $2,000 for a 12-month membership, to ICNJ as soon as
possible. The Board of Directors must review all applications and approve them.
Collectively, ICNJ member companies underwrite 92 percent of automobile
insurance policies, 65 percent of homeowners' insurance policies, 67 percent of
workers' compensation policies, and 34 percent of the commercial insurance in New Jersey. We would welcome your membership and participation.
