A longstanding program devoted exclusively to insurance financial regulators entered a new chapter in 2026, with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Iowa joining the Insurance Regulator Education Foundation (IREF) and The Institutes Griffith Insurance Education Foundation as academic collaborators.

The Griffith Foundation recently participated in "Insuring the Future 2024," an event where industry professionals and regulators discussed risk-based mitigation approaches in response to evolving climate challenges. The Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) and Connecticut Insurance & Financial Services (CT IFS) combined their annual events to create a unified conference focusing on resilience and innovation.

The Griffith Foundation recently hit the road for an essential in-person program: the 2024 Insurance Regulators Education Foundation (IREF) Financial Regulators Program at Illinois State University’s Katie School of Insurance. This annual event, hosted from June 16-22, 2024, gathered 24 junior and mid-level insurance regulators from states across the country to delve into the critical issues surrounding financial regulation and insurer solvency.
