Member Experience (Retention) Committee
If membership is the lifeblood, then recruiting and retention are the heart. Recruiting new members is one of the most important tasks that your chapter will face during the year. It is important because a vibrant and healthy chapter has to grow, and the only way to ensure that your chapter continues to be a strong, powerful voice is to keep its numbers multiplying. There is definitely strength in numbers!
Retaining members is definitely important and is vital to our association.

Political Action Committee
The purpose of the NABIP's Political Action Committee (NABIP PAC) is to raise funds from NABIP members for the purpose of supporting the political campaigns of candidates who believe in private sector solutions for the health and financial security of all Americans.
CAHIP-PAC accepts contributions primarily from licensed insurance agents and insurance companies and operates under California legal authority. CAHIP-PAC's Board of Directors works with CAHIP, and the local chapters located throughout the state, to create advocacy opportunities so that legislators understand the vital role of independent and licensed insurance agents.
Professional Development Committee

Public Service Community Outreach
- Review local needs and opportunities with community health and welfare leaders.

- Discuss the list with the chapter board or at a regular membership meeting and be prepared to make a recommendation on a single activity or project.
