National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals
South West Indiana
Who We Are
The South West Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals represents licensed health insurance agents, brokers, consultants, and benefit professionals doing business in Indiana. NABIP-SWI members provide valuable services to both business and individual consumers by providing access to the health, disability, long-term care and Medicare programs and other related services they need to protect them against the financial risks associated with not being covered for these risks. Because our members practice in a complicated field that requires a significant amount of expertise, they benefit from participation in a professional association that will allow them to increase their knowledge and exposure to information and services in important areas. They additionally benefit from efforts made on their behalf to preserve the industry in which they practice and the related services their clients receive as a result of it.
Our Mission
The mission of NABIP-SWI is to improve its member's ability to meet the health, financial, and retirement security needs of all Americans through education, advocacy, and professional development.
Our Vision
To educate the public and decision makers about the value health insurance professionals deliver in helping consumers access the health care system and, through education and association involvement, increase members' ability to better serve consumers in a financially prudent and responsible manner.
