Welcome to The California Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters, Inc., (CAIIA).
We are a non-profit organization of insurance professionals consisting of the top independent adjusting firms throughout the state of California.
CAIIA Mid-Term Business Meeting…Virtually for hopefully the last time in CAIIA history
CAIIA President Rick Kern of SGD, Inc., oversaw this year’s CAIIA Business Meeting that was held via Zoom on April 30, 2021. If we couldn’t all be there together, at least we got to see each other from our computer screens.
Rick shared that the membership voted on and adopted new bylaws which allow for additional members. Below is a review of the new options for membership. Our group is a great way for adjusters to get together with others in the same business and trade stories, get help, and as corny as this is going to sound…make new friends. I encourage anyone who might be interested in joining to reach out to our Executive Director Kim Hickey khickey@sgdinc.com.
We would like the thank Mr. Kevin Hansen of McCormick Barstow for providing 3 hours of ethics training and giving us an opportunity to earn 3 hours of CE to maintain our adjuster licenses with the California Department of Insurance.
Thank you once again to past-president Paul Camacho’s who oversaw setting up and running our meeting via Zoom..
We hope you are all doing well and staying safe. As Claims Handling is considered an essential business, we have all had to adapt to changes while still providing the very important service we offer to the insuring public.
The CAIIA has two new membership categories:
* Adjunct membership for the successful applicant who holds a valid California Independent Adjuster license and who is employed full-time in the insurance adjusting business by an entity that is not a Regular Member.
* Associate Membership for the successful applicant who possesses all the qualifications of a Regular Member, except that they are not currently in the independent insurance adjusting business. They may be employed by an insurance company, self-insured entity, governmental agency, or quasi-governmental agency in the business of adjusting insurance claims.
Please email our executive director Kim Hickey khickey@sgdinc.com for additional information on joining the CAIIA.
