Happy New Year!  And thank you for visiting the website of the Arizona Insurance Council!  We are sure you will find much valuable information and encourage you to spend some time in getting to know us and to learn about the many positive impacts the property casualty insurance industry brings to all Arizonans.

Collaboratively, we have become Arizona’s leading source of property casualty insurance information.  Our association was formed in 1986 as an independent, non-profit organization and its membership is comprised of member property casualty companies and affiliated associate members.  Our Executive Director Ron Williams and Communications Manager Nicole Farr bring to our association a wealth of trade association, public outreach, partnership building and communications expertise with over 45 years of combined experience.  Mr. Williams has been our executive director for the past three years and Ms. Farr joined AIC in 2006.

Becoming Arizona’s leading source of property casualty insurance information did not happen by accident.  Our vision and mission statements clearly identify our direction and intentions.

AIC’s Vision Statement:
To make AIC the premier source of PC insurance information for its audiences and a valuable voice and forum for its members through its programs, exchange of ideas and partnerships with allied groups.

AIC’s Mission Statement:
AIC Mission is Education and Engagement: To create understanding among audiences about property and casualty insurance products and practices and to engage those audiences to improve the business environment through exchanging ideas and building partnerships.

During the past year, AIC exemplified their Vision and Mission statements while educating audiences of news media, public policy officials, safety and private sector groups; and engaging them as allies on behalf of our industry, its issues and messages.  All of our accomplishments and activities are listed on our website.  These are updated regularly and I encourage you to visit our website often and provide feedback.

The Arizona Insurance Council is the leading source of property casualty insurance information and funded solely by our associate members and member companies.  If you are affiliated within the property casualty insurance industry, we encourage you to inquire about our membership opportunity. 

Thanks again for visiting and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
