The state of the economy and developments in states' implementation of the federal excess and surplus lines reform law will be two topics on the minds of National Association of Professional Surplus Lines Offices (NAPSLO) members as they gather for the organization's 2012 Mid-Year Leadership Forum.

Speaking to NU about the topics members will be discussing at the conference, slated for Feb. 29 to March 3 in Scottsdale, Ariz., NAPSLO Executive Director Brady Kelley says, “Leading any business through these economic conditions is top of mind, in my opinion. I'd expect that may be one of the topics discussed here.”

NAPSLO members, Kelley notes, have unique insight into the economy because they insure businesses and individuals directly affected by it: “Our members work very, very closely with their clients. They know their clients and risks better than anybody.” Through their underwriting processes and due diligence, he adds, the group's members gather a lot of intelligence on current economic conditions.
