To advocate means to publicly recommend or support a particular cause or policy, and we are actively advocating for you and your business. To fulfill our mission, we are to encourage and support those insurance principles, programs, and regulations which are in the best public interest; we are to enlighten members as to the insurance laws of the State of Texas and to the rules and regulations for the writing of insurance as approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Texas; and to support and encourage all activities to reduce loss of life and property on streets, highways, in homes and places of employment.

We actively advocate ensuring recent legislative developments are in favor of promoting the best interest of those we serve.  

Our Legislative Committee coordinates with IIAT and IIABA on action plans which will benefit the insurance-buying public and the insurance industry as a whole.  The committee coordinates with the Trustees of the Insurance Men/Women’s Political Action Committee (IMPACT) to encourage our members to contribute, so our association is in a position to provide financial assistance to candidates who support our legislative positions. Also, the Legislative Committee identifies and recruits individual IIAH members to serve as “key contacts” for the Legislators from Harris and surrounding counties.
