Back to Committees & Work Groups Listing

ACT seeks to have at least one liaison with each IIABA state association.  The liaison is appointed by the state association and may be an agent or association staff member.  The liaisons communicate frequently with ACT by email, conference call, and have one in person meeting each year in conjunction with the September ACT meeting.  The responsibilities of the liaisons are to:

1. Encourage state association to embrace technology and workflow improvement as a priority on its advocacy agenda with members, carriers, & vendors.  This includes the state association bringing these issues up in officer speeches, company visits, and in workshops and convention sessions.  This also includes the state association encouraging regional carriers to implement real-time and download and to participate in industry technology initiatives such as ACT, AUGIE, and the user groups.
2. Be the point of communication in the state between ACT and the state association.  Share ACT communications and articles with the appropriate people within the state association to keep them informed.  Bring member issues and concerns to ACT’s attention, so that they can be discussed at the national level as well.  Consider contributing articles for use as the monthly ACT article
3. Encourage state association to use monthly ACT articles in their member communications vehicles.
4. Encourage state association to raise member awareness on an ongoing basis about the ACT and AUGIE information that is available to assist them with their technology, workflow, and process issues.  This information is available at www.independentagent.com/act, www.getrealtime.org, www.ACTtech.org, and www.acord.org under “AUGIE” and “agent and broker information.”
