American Council of Life Insurers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI) is a Washington-based lobbying and trade group for the life insurance industry. ACLI represents 373 insurance companies that account for 93 percent of the U.S. life insurance industry's total assets. According to its website, ACLI represents "legal reserve life insurance companies and fraternal benefit societies operating in the United States before federal and state policymakers, insurance departments, and the courts."

One of the key issues ACLI lobbies for is to the maintain the current federal estate tax system.

Since 2002, former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating has served as the organization's president and chief executive officer. He succeeded former South Carolina Governor Carroll A. Campbell, Jr., who led ACLI from 1995 through 2002.
