Building upon an earlier conversation, Frank Tomasello, Executive Director of The Institutes Griffith Foundation, visited with Michel Leonard, Chief Economist and Data Scientist at the Triple-I and adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Economics Department. They discussed the economic outlook ahead and considered implications for the insurance ecosystem in 2025. 

  • “NCOIL is proud of our decades long collaborative relationship with the Institutes Griffith Insurance Education Foundation, which focuses on providing lawmakers with additional, supplemental education to enhance their ability to make informed policy decisions. Griffith provides webinars, lunch-&-learns, and educational workshops to serve our members in the way most convenient to them.” 

    Tom Considine, CEO, NCOIL

  • "The Institutes Griffith Foundation's non-partisan and non-advocative educational programming is an invaluable resource for the Connecticut Department of Insurance and policymakers nationwide. Their objective seminars, featuring leading academics and industry experts, equip regulators with the knowledge to make informed policy decisions, ultimately benefiting and protecting consumers.” 

    Andrew N. Mais, Connecticut Insurance Department Commissioner, NAIC President 

  • “NAIC’s CIPR values its collaborative relationship with The Institutes Griffith Foundation.  Our organizations jointly produce webinar programming that helps to bring lawmakers and regulators ‘back-to-basics’ by providing foundational knowledge on myriad risk and insurance topics. This non-partisan and non-advocative programming provides foundational knowledge to help inform important policy conversations.”  

    Jeff Czajkowski, Director of the NAIC’s CIPR

  • “The Institutes Griffith Foundation is a tremendous resource for legislators as we navigate the changing waters of insurance law and regulation. I have been an insurance agent for over 30 years, but I still learn something new every time they host an event at our NCOIL meetings. During my tenure as a past President of NCOIL, I often heard from elected officials, who were unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the insurance environment, that Griffith’s programs helped create clarity and offered tools to navigate this ever-changing landscape.”

    Rep. Matt Lehman, Indiana House Majority Leader, Past President of NCOIL
