The new president of the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents said attempts to put regulation of the insurance industry into the hands of the federal government is an effort by some to create an uneven playing field for independent agents.
"Over the past decade, professional insurance agents have faced a series of challenges," said Kenneth R. Auerbach, the newly-installed president of the Alexandria, Va.-based PIA said in a statement. "We have seen attempts to take away our commissions, our contingencies, our market share and our clients.
"When I arrived here at PIA National, I, like many of you, was invigorated by a new problem we were facing--the offensive effort to steal our commissions and our contingencies. Now I find myself impassioned by a new struggle--the attempted federal takeover of insurance."
