AM Best at NAMIC’s Annual Convention
AM Best, the global credit rating agency focused on insurance, will play a visible role at the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies’ Annual Convention. The gathering brings together mutual insurance leaders to dig into the issues shaping the market. Set at a leading venue, it offers space for real conversations and practical takeaways.
Panel Participation and Market Perspectives
Rich Attanasio, a senior director at AM Best, will join a panel during the convention. The session, held during a morning program, is titled “Rating Agency Insights on the Current Reinsurance Marketplace.” Attendees can expect perspectives from rating specialists on how they see the reinsurance environment and what that means for mutual insurers navigating today’s shifting risks.
Insights on Insurance Risk and Rating
Over 45 minutes, the discussion will explore how insurers are confronting added layers of risk and how those risks show up in rating agency evaluations. For leaders making pricing, capital, and reinsurance decisions, understanding how agencies like AM Best assess strength, volatility, and resilience can help turn uncertainty into a clearer plan of action.

AM Best’s role goes beyond the panel. As a long-standing sponsor of the convention, the company will host a networking reception designed for straightforward conversation—what’s working, what’s not, and what might be next. It’s a chance to compare notes, meet new partners, and revisit old ones.
