What is the IRES Foundation?
The IRES Foundation is a not-for-profit
corporation and educational trust pursuant to
Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code and organized under the laws of Missouri.
The Foundation's mission is to assist in the
development of educational and training
opportunities for professional insurance
regulators as well as educating the private
sector about state insurance regulation. The
Foundation funds not-for-profit educational
programs and awards grants and seed money to
qualifying organizations for this purpose.
The Foundation's work ultimately benefits all
those involved in or affected by insurance
regulation. Well-trained and well-equipped
regulators do a better job of protecting the
public and monitoring the insurance marketplace.
Regulators who continue their education are
better positioned to regulate and communicate
with the insurance industry, resulting in a
clearer understanding of regulatory requirements
and expectations.
The IRES Foundation each year sponsors The
National Insurance School . The particular National School brings together state insurance regulators with government relations personnel to review the
latest issues governing "market
conduct" and market regulation compliance.
For more information you may call 913-768-4700.
The IRES Foundation operates independently of
the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society yet
works very closely with IRES to develop
educational programs. Several IRES officers are
members of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
