Message From the State President

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the National Association of Benefits Insurance Professionals New Jersey Chapter (NABIP-NJ). I am extremely proud to serve in 2025-26 as the President of this impactful statewide organization. We have more than 500 members statewide and we are continually adding new members to grow our influence in Trenton, Washington D.C. and beyond.
A NABIP-NJ member is a professional who is committed to the health insurance and employee benefits industry, committed to continually learning more, committed to making New Jersey a better place to live and work, and most importantly, committed to helping his/her clients find innovative solutions.
I feel strongly that ANY business or individual in New Jersey looking for a health insurance plan needs to ask: Is my broker a NABIP-NJ broker? Is my broker really committed to this industry? Does he or she seek the most innovative products and services to fit my needs? Does he or she engage with our legislators when important health care bills are being discussed? Does he or she operate with the highest level of professionalism and integrity? Is it someone I can rely on and trust? If you choose to work with a NABIP-NJ broker, the answers to these questions will always be YES.
Therefore, if everyone looking for insurance needs to work with an NABIP-NJ member and if you are not already a NABIP-NJ member, then why aren’t you?
I urge you to learn more about NABIP-NJ. Attend a local chapter meeting. Network with the best and brightest in the industry. Meet an old friend and make a new one. Become an industry leader. Or if this industry has been very good to you, consider joining NABIP-NJ as a way to give back and ensure future generations have the same strong opportunities that you enjoyed.
Take a few moments to review this website. You will see an exciting organization that is constantly “in action” for our members, for our clients and for ourselves.
If you need to find a NABIP-NJ broker in your area or if you’d like to learn more about joining our Association, please call our office at 908-349-0789.
Yours in good health,
Jim Lardiere
NABIP-NJ President
