              NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE WOMEN WEEK

 Mrs. CARNAHAN. Mr. President, I would like to bring to the 
Senate's attention that a few weeks from now will be National 
Association of Insurance Women week.
  Professional insurance women constitute over 50 percent of those 
employed in our Nation's insurance industry. For that reason, the 
National Association of Insurance Women and its 400 local affiliates 
are dedicated to the development of leaders for the insurance industry.
  NAIW and its affiliates promote personal and professional development 
through education, networking and leadership opportunities to all women 
in the insurance business. Both national and local organizations 
continually strive to raise the standards of ethics, consumer education 
and customer service throughout the insurance industry.
  NAIW local affiliates are engaged in charitable causes to strengthen 
and enhance hundreds of communities throughout the U.S., Canada, Puerto 
Rico and the Virgin Islands. Professional insurance women have earned 
recognition for their many accomplishments in the economically vital 
insurance industry.
  It is important that we celebrate and honor the women who are 
performing such important and diverse roles throughout the risk and 
insurance industry.
