    Last week, a group of PAMIC members visited the nation’s Capitol to participate in the 2022 NAMIC CCP.  The Pennsylvania delegation met at the NAMIC offices along with NAMIC members from Idaho, Oregon, Texas and North Carolina to prepare for scheduled visits with lawmakers the following day.  Industry representatives from Lititz Mutual and Pennsylvania Lumbermens joined PAMIC President Lisa Katterman and NAMIC Manager Andrew Malin in advocating for the mutual industry and asking lawmakers for their support of a state-based system of insurance regulation, support of policies that increase American’s resiliency, oppose efforts to undermine the use of risk based pricing in underwriting of insurance products, and support efforts to ensure access to auto-generated accident data.  The delegation canvassed the Capitol Complex in their meetings with the offices of Representatives Scott Perry, Madeleine Dean, Lloyd Smucker, Dan Meuser, John Joyce and Senator Pat Toomey. Thanks to all of the members who volunteered their time and resources to ensure our voices are heard at the federal level.  While there are a litany of issues taking on the front pages, we must ensure that these lawmakers are familiar with issues and understand our concerns.

    Dear PAMIC members,

    On behalf of the PAMIC Board, we ask you to celebrate with us as Lisa Katterman joins PAMIC as its new president! Lisa will take over the reins on June 6, 2022, and transition for a few weeks with Ron Gallagher before his retirement on June 30.

    Please join us in welcoming Lisa to PAMIC in her new role. Through her 20 plus years of experience with PAMIC, she has held various roles, including Government Affairs Chair, Board Director, Convention Committee member, and PAMIC PAC trustee. In addition to her PAMIC service, Lisa has led several professional and non-profit organizations. She has served as President and Board member of the Pennsylvania Defense Institute, President and Board Member of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, and President and Board member of the Association of Corporate Counsel in Central Pennsylvania. Lisa has steadily advocated for the insurance industry during her career, both at the federal and state levels, while serving in many leadership capacities, serving on the Federal Affairs Committee and Compliance Counsel for NAMIC and various committees for the American Property & Casualty Insurance Association.

    Lisa comes to PAMIC with a Finance degree from West Virginia University and a law degree from Widener University School of Law. She is admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Lisa's 28-year career with Pennsylvania National Mutual Casualty Insurance Company (a PAMIC member) has prepared her well for this role. Her experience with Penn National Insurance gives her a unique insight and knowledge into the mutual world - experiences that will benefit all PAMIC members. At Penn National Insurance, she served in various roles, including Senior Corporate Counsel, Director of Government Affairs, and Director of Industry Relations and Compliance.

    Lisa is an excellent fit for PAMIC and will lead with distinction, honor, and service to our association. We look forward to your support and seeing you at the Greenbrier for the 115th Mid-Atlantic Mutual Advantage Convention on July 31!

    Sincerely,

    John Foster
