Last night marked the start of RIMS’ 14th Annual Legislative Conference, also known as RIMS on the Hill, in Washington, D.C. The event featured keynote remarks from Stuart Rothenberg.
One of Washington’s most highly respected political analysts and commentators, Rothenberg is the editor and publisher of The Rothenberg Political Report, a non-partisan political newsletter. Federal Insurance Office Director Michael McRaith will also voice his opinion on the current state of the insurance market.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from leading risk and government affairs experts about a number of critical issues, including:
- Strengthening the Medicare and Repaying Taxpayers Act of 2011 (SMART Act)
- National Flood Insurance Reform and Reauthorization Efforts
- The Federal Insurance Office (FIO) report on insurance regulation modernization — greater role for NAIC or greater federal uniformity?
Here are a few photos from last night’s opening reception, where guests enjoyed delicious food and drink while catching up with fellow lobbyists and making new connections.
