1) Information Resource – With our website (www.nahu.org), Health Insurance Underwriter (HIU) magazine, and several newsletters and broadcast emails at your fingertips, you’ll always have the most current industry information.

2) Legislative Advocacy –  NAHU's legislative efforts strive to educate and inform elected leaders at the federal and state level.  We’ve learned that most legislators simply do not understand the health care system and the agent’s role in the system.  Through our network of Key Contacts, we cultivate relationships that put us in position to clarify issues before bills are written or votes taken.  We strengthen these relationships through activity by the Health Underwriters Political Action Committee (HUPAC) .

3) Health Insurance Underwriter Magazine – NAHU’s monthly magazine will provide you with tips on selling, information on NAHU’s activities on the national, regional, and local level, and updates on website content and other services that NAHU provides.  Receiving HIU Magazine monthly is another great investment for your business.

4) Education and Networking – NAHU and our state and local chapters provide continuing education opportunities to keep you abreast of the trends, new products and policy changes in the industry.  Many state and local chapters offer enough credits to fulfill all your state’s CE requirements.  These meetings will also give you time to network with tadalafil your colleagues and make new acquaintances.
