About NYSIA
For over 100 years, the New York Self-Insurers Association (NYSIA), a not-for-profit organization, has served its member businesses by keeping them informed about important developments in the increasingly complex area of self-insurance, while promoting and protecting their vital interests.
Through an active, cooperative information network, NYSIA keeps members aware of pending legislation, changes in the law, new regulations, and other issues relating to self-insurance. In addition, NYSIA represents your business interests at legislative hearings and conferences, acting as your vocal and vigorous advocate on matters pertaining to the creation, passage, and administration of relevant laws. We also advocate for administrative improvements in the Workers’ Compensation Board.
Board of Managers
Our Board of Managers is comprised of dedicated NYSIA members from a diversity of for-profit, governmental and not-for-profit organizations. Their common thread is an interest in keeping informed about and advocating for Workers’ Compensation laws that are fair to New York’s self-insured organizations.
