Each year, members travel to Albany to meet directly with Central New York legislators and advocate for the independent agency system.
Big I Central New York members represent our region in Washington, D.C., meeting with federal lawmakers to discuss the issues that matter most to independent agents.
Our annual Legislative Breakfast brings together members and elected officials to strengthen relationships and discuss issues affecting our industry close to home.
