NIA made the insurance process as simple and painless as it can be. I was inspired to serve on the board after seeing the positive impact NIA had on my organization. I want to help expand these products and services to nonprofits across the country.” —Ronald Carleton, President , CultureConnect “Being a board member has helped me appreciate how differently we operate from other insurance companies because of our mission in service to nonprofits. Of course, we must assure the companies are financially sound, but we need to make decisions thoughtfully in a manner that also supports the needs of our nonprofit members.” —Debra Marstellar, President and CEO, Project Independence “As COO, I know how critically important it is to have an insurance company stand behind you when things go wrong. As an insured member, I experienced NIA as a supportive business partner and ran for election to the board of directors because I wanted to do what I could to help us grow and expand our mission as broadly as possible.” —Avnish Gupta, Chief Operations Office r, EZ Ride A head for insurance. A heart for nonprofits. 5
