We are a non-profit state insurance trade association representing companies and related organizations that write most property/casualty insurance in Minnesota.
Founded in 1914 to help insurers deal with the Minnesota State Legislature on issues related to the state’s workers’ compensation insurance program. Since then, we have been the leading advocate and resource for insurance in Minnesota.
Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, we represent companies with many different lines of insurance including auto, business, commercial, homeowners’, reinsurance, renters’, and workers’ compensation. We are pleased to have both stock and mutual companies amongst our membership.
Today, we continue to act as an advocate for insurance companies and their policyholders at the Minnesota Legislature and with the state’s insurance regulatory agency - the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
We also sponsor the Insurance HelpLine, a free service offering non-biased answers to insurance questions. You can submit a question to the HelpLine online by clicking on the Insurance HelpLine link.
