Mission
Our mission is to protect our member clubs by negotiating adequate spectator liability insurance and to provide safety information and prompt service.

History
Our founder, Ev Stineman, was a passionate beagler and a friend to the sport. He ran dogs for decades and operated a successful business that supplied equipment for beagling plus ribbons and trophies for the trials. He saw a need for insurance as early as the 1940s, when he started Stineman Insurance and offered mortality insurance for dogs. He began the National Beagle Association in 1959. His vision was to secure the future of the sport by obtaining adequate liability insurance for beagle clubs. When Mr. Stineman died in 1988, the Stineman family continued to run the Association. Mark Schroeder, Mr. Stineman’s grandson, took over day-to-day operations in 2003 and moved the headquarters from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to High Point, North Carolina.

Benefits
Our member clubs receive spectator liability coverage in the amount of $500,000 per occurrence, $500,000 aggregate with no deductible. (In the event of a claim, we pay the deductible for our clubs.) Membership also includes death and dismemberment insurance for field judges and volunteers in the amount of $50,000 (death) and $5,000 (medical payments). A $1,500 bond is also available at no cost for club treasurers.
