- Liability Claims and
Forms
- Property Claims and

Both company and
national instructors are used.
Legislative Watch Dog:
WAMIC continually meets with the Wisconsin Insurance Department (OCI)
and legislature, to keep the notion that BIG isn’t always good.
- WAMIC sponsors annual
Washington D.C. trips.
- Holds OCI meetings
and seminars annually.
- Keeps local officials
informed about our industry.
Many of our
members have people on the town boards or county boards throughout the
state. All politics are still local.
Working Together to Promote and Preserve the Mutual Insurance way of
life:
The interests, problems and concerns of statewide companies are
identical to large and small insurers.
The business environment in which all mutuals operate is shaped by the
activities of our country’s representative government, both local and
national. The "small" town mutual as well as the
"small" statewide domestic must communicate their position on
various issues to elected officials.
The need for a common meeting ground to exchange ideas and solutions to
problems, and the desire to make a collective voice heard brings forth
a strong association.
This concept of all mutual insurers working together toward common
goals does work in Wisconsin.
WAMIC is the unification of mutual interests as we move into what could
be a very challenging decade for the mutual insurance industry.
"A COLLECTIVE VOICE WILL BRING FORTH A STRONG
ASSOCIATION."
