Joe Reid Scholarship Form     Congressional Contacts Program (CCP)

Joe Reid was the IAMIC chair in 2011 who unexpectedly passed away during his term.  Joe was a huge advocate for our industry and always attended the CCP program in D.C.  He recognized the importance of being a voice - being OUR voice - on the hill could help make a difference and it often did.  

The cost to send a member to the NAMIC CCP program should easily be built into every company's budget but sometimes a last-minute decision to attend or a hard-hit year of claims may prevent you from having the resources.  If you are willing to provide your time, we have the scholarship to assist with the travel cost associated with this trip*.  Please complete the details below. 

*The Joe Reid Scholarship covers a two-night hotel stay, travel, and reasonable food costs.
