The IIAC State Government Affairs team works with the Connecticut Legislature, the executive branch in Connecticut, the U.S. Congressional Representatives and Senators for Connecticut, the Connecticut Insurance Department, the Connecticut Banking Department, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, and other regulatory agencies to insure a sound legislative and regulatory atmosphere for independent agents and their customers.

The Government Affairs team utilizes the highly effective grassroots strength of the IIAC membership and lobbying of the association's registered lobbyist Warren C. Ruppar, IIAC President.  Agent issues are advanced through the direct lobbying and the building of coalitions with numerous insurance industry representatives, trade associations and business organizations.  IIAC is the leader for insurance agent issues in the state capitol and in Washington D.C.
