Advocacy
When it comes to political advocacy and protecting the interests of its members, NAIFA is one of the best in the business. NAIFA-Maine's Government Relations Committee partners with The Law Office of Daniel J. Bernier, LLC to lobby on behalf of the issues important to our industry, our products and services and our clients.
NAIFA-Maine and The Law Office of Daniel J. Bernier, LLC work hand in hand with NAIFA's national law department to positively impact state legislation and regulation. Together, they develop lobbying strategies, comment on key issues, implement uniform policies and participate in litigation. Our many successes have hinged on NAIFA's favorable relationships with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL).

Grassroots Advocacy
NAIFA-Maine contracts a full time professional lobbyist who works with our state’s Government Relations Committee to not just “watch over” the legislative activities, but to proactively engage in weaving the NAIFA-Maine voice and mission into the culture of each of the legislative bodies in Maine. Our volunteers, staff and lobbyists review pending legislation that may affect our industry, as well as work to proactively introduce legislation that will benefit our agents, clients and industry in Maine.
