FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Members,
I am incredibly excited to begin my term as President of the NAIIA. To say that I am honored to serve as your President, is an understatement. I am excited to serve alongside President-Elect Bill Schulenberg, Secretary/Treasurer Nino Berardi, Immediate Past President Peter Schifrin and Executive Director Sheri Csom.
The NAIIA is bolstered by the Regional Vice Presidents that faithfully serve their respective region. We are also blessed with a strong community of people who not only selflessly volunteer their time to our organization, but volunteer to serve on our committees, speak at conferences, seminars, trade associations and other industry events. It is a privilege to work with such an exceptional team.
As President, my goal is to faithfully shepherd this association. The NAIIA is the only organization, that I am aware of, where:
- Competitors become associates
- Associates become friends
- Friends become Family!
The Theme for my term is BETTER TOGETHER
My time with the NAIIA has had a great impact on me both professionally and as a person. Thank you to everyone who has invested in me over the years!
I look forward to having a great year!

John Henderson, 2023-2024 NAIIA President

Meet the NAIIA Member, Christopher M. Davis, CPCU, AIC.
Christopher is the Vice President and a general adjuster for Davis Claims Service. He specializes in large and complex losses and investigations - the weirder the better.He's been in the industry for 22 years, as he says, "Dad got me into the business and I'll never forgive him (just kidding)!"
His advice for those new to the industry is, "Network as much as possible! Help others and make friends in the industry with colleagues, vendors, and competitors." It's no surprise that his favorite part of the job is meeting new people and solving problems!
