DCIF newsletter. A newsletter, available only to members, provides updated information on legislation, regulatory and general business issues, activities and trends.

Legislative Report. The Federation provides a report listing all of the legislation that it is monitoring pertinent to the insurance industry. The report identifies the bill, the purpose of the law, the committee where the bill has been assigned, and the status of the legislation. Through regular updates of the Legislative Report, supplemented by “DCIF Alerts” as appropriate, members are provided with an in-depth and on-going analysis through the life-cycle of the legislative initiatives which are profiled.

Conferences and seminars. The District of Columbia Insurance Federation holds conferences and seminars for member companies, DC government, executive board officials, business owners, local trade associations, and consumers. These events include educational programs on insurance issues for governmental officials who may be enacting laws or regulations affecting the operations of insurance companies and policies.

DCIF "Alerts". We pride ourselves on keeping Federation Members in the loop. Depending upon the urgency of information we find, we either send E-mail or make a telephone call to ensure members are aware and that their interests are represented.

Membership meetings. The Federation holds bi-monthly membership meetings that report on important insurance activities occurring in the District of Columbia. This includes legislative and regulatory activities, and relevant activities in other agencies and organizations. Distinguished guest speakers from the public and private sector inform Federation Members about important activities on which their organizations are working, giving valuable off-the-record information to Federation members.

Public board representation. The Federation represents the interests of the insurance industry by serving on public boards and commissions to provide input into the planning process to take into consideration insurance industry needs and concerns.

DCIF Website “Members Only” section. The “Members Only” section is a repository of meetings, reports, alerts and other documents that provide a resource for members of all legislative and regulatory activity monitored by the DCIF.
