Travelers is launching an initiative aimed at addressing insurance availability and affordability challenges.
The multi-year program, called Risk. Regulation. Resilience. Responsibility., will be run through the Travelers Institute, the company’s education and advocacy division. It will look at what policymakers, insurance agents, brokers, carriers and consumers can do to improve the insurance marketplace.
“At its core, insurance is about bringing individuals and businesses together to pool resources to manage risk," said Alan Schnitzer, chairman and chief executive officer of Travelers, in a statement. "But today, in certain jurisdictions, families and businesses are bearing the consequences of an insurance marketplace that isn’t working the way it should. Solving the challenges will require committed partnership among policymakers, carriers and consumers – and the Travelers Institute is well positioned to convene these stakeholders and move our industry forward."
The program will consist of a series of educational events, webinars and resources that will aim to explore the shifting environmental, economic and societal patterns impacting the cost and availability of insurance.
It will kick off this week, on Sept. 16, at an event in St. Paul, Minn., featuring a panel of Travelers insurance experts. Additional symposia are scheduled for Oct. 20 in Tulsa, Okla.; Oct. 28 in Atlanta; and Dec. 3 in Dallas. More events will be announced in early 2026.
"As with all Travelers Institute initiatives, education is at the heart of Risk. Regulation. Resilience. Responsibility.," said Joan Woodward, president of the Travelers Institute and executive vice president of public policy at Travelers. "By leveraging community insights and providing agents, brokers and customers with relevant tools and information, we aim to help people better understand and better navigate today’s risks."
