Whereas , The National Association of Insurance Women, with over 15,000 members nationwide, endeavors to reaffirm to the insurance industry as a whole the highest professional standards and ethics by advocating for the professional advancement of its members through loyalty, fellowship, and education; and,

Whereas, Michigan is proud to have a chapter of the National Association of Insurance Women in Lansing whose members significantly contribute to the improvement and promotion of an economically vital insurance industry in our Great Lakes State; and,

Whereas , These insurance professionals give back to the State of Michigan by working locally and statewide to advocate for greater public awareness of important issues such as tort reform, automobile safety, and the problem of drinking and driving; and now therefore be it,

Resolved , That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim the week of May 18, 2008, as National Association of Insurance Women Week in Michigan.
