NAPIA is excited to announce our recent appointment to the Board of Directors of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (CAIF). This significant development marks a historic moment for public adjusters, as it represents the first time our profession has been included in this prestigious organization's leadership. With a decade-long history of membership in CAIF, this election to the board is a testament to our enduring commitment and active role in combating insurance fraud on both sides of the fence and raising the voice of public insurance adjusters.

Our presence on the CAIF Board underscores the vital contribution of public adjusters in shaping policies and strategies that influence the insurance industry. Brian Goodman, as the General Counsel for NAPIA, will be taking on this influential role, bringing his extensive expertise and dedication to this new position.

The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, formed in 1993, stands as the nation's only alliance uniting a diverse range of groups against insurance fraud. With more than 300 member organizations, CAIF brings together consumers, insurers, government agencies, legislators, prosecutors, and other committed partners. This collaborative effort focuses on fighting all forms of insurance scams, regardless of the perpetrator, ultimately protecting consumers and maintaining the integrity of the insurance system.

CAIF's approach to combating insurance fraud is multifaceted. Their campaigns aim to educate consumers on defending against scams. They advocate for robust state anti-fraud laws and undertake groundbreaking research in the field. Through legal briefs, they present influential perspectives to America's courts, working in tandem with partner anti-fraud groups to mitigate the impact of insurance fraud on all Americans.

NAPIA's newly acquired board seat within CAIF is more than a symbolic milestone; it is a strategic advancement that amplifies the voice and influence of public adjusters in the national dialogue on insurance fraud. This appointment not only reflects NAPIA's leadership in the field but also reaffirms our commitment to ethical and just practices within the insurance industry.

As we embark on this new chapter with CAIF, we look forward to contributing our unique perspective and expertise, working collaboratively to fortify the fight against insurance fraud, and continuing to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the insurance profession.
