In 1980, a bill was filed in the House of Representatives which would allow individuals who held the professional designation CIC, CPCU or CLU, to become a Licensed Adviser without being required to take the written examination.

John Rogers, a Licensed Insurance Adviser, launched an urgent organizing drive which resulted in the creation of the Society. After much persistence, political maneuvering and testimony before the Insurance Committee, the bill was defeated on December 9, 1983.

The continuing thrust of the Society, year in and year out, has been to offer a forum for the exchange of ideas and way to improve the knowledge of its members as well as to provide the public an independent source to assure that they are getting the best counsel available in the Commonwealth by engaging a member of the Society.

The Society now appears to be on the crest of a wave poised for yet another leap forward with the sponsorship of legislation that will set and uphold the professional standards of all Licensed Insurance Advisers in the Commonwealth. The continuing vitality of the organization is founded in its past but looks its membership for the accomplishments of the future.
