Getting a quote to become a member of the New York Schools Insurance Reciprocal can be accomplished in a few specific ways.

1. Visit our website

• While on our website (www.nysir.org), clicking on the membership tab will give you access to our new member application.

This fillable PDF application can be completed on your own time and sent to NYSIR when completed. If you need any help, please get in touch with us over the phone, submit questions via email, or even arrange?an in-person appointment to help you.

2. Contacting a New York Schools Insurance Reciprocal Marketing Manager or Representative

• Located throughout New York, the Marketing Manager and Representatives are there to answer any questions you may have about NYSIR and assist with obtaining a quote.

Michael Anthony - NYSIR Regional Manager - Eastern NY, Albany, Capital Region

Eric Calvasina - NYSIR Regional Representative - Southern Tier, Elmira Region

3. Contacting an NYSIR Certified Insurance Representative

• In regions where NYSIR Marketing Managers and Representatives are not present, we've appointed three agencies to provide NYSIR services and your District or BOCES a quote.

Eastern Shore Associates - Central New York and Syracuse Region

NBT Insurance Agency - Chenango, Delaware, Fulton, Otsego Counties

Northern Insuring Agency - Adirondacks, Plattsburgh Region

4. Conducting an RFP

• If your District or BOCES is in the process of sending out RFPs for its Property & Casualty Insurance, please reach out to any of the contacts above to obtain a quote from NYSIR.

If you have been told by your current broker or insurance provider that they've shopped the district or BOCES policy with NYSIR and it wasn't competitive, or NYSIR declined to offer a proposal, you may have been misinformed.

If your District or BOCES is looking for more information about the NYSIR program or is interested in obtaining a quote, please visit our website for more details.
