CIWA Delivers Multiple Benefits
CIWA membership does more than add to your political clout, it:

• Keeps you focused on California, often the bell-weather of wholesale insurance trends nationwide. We're both your information source and "early warning" system.
  

• Helps you anticipate economic and business trends. CIWA offers a unique forum for dialogue on topics as varied as employee outsourcing, international trade, emerging industries and the changing financial arena--all of which impacts your business and your customers.
  

• Puts information in your hands. Our California Wholesale Days (typically held in January), Summer Forum (typically held in June), focus on regulatory issues, market conditions, business trends, transitions strategies and the technical aspects of your job, so you can be more successful.
  

• Builds relationships that build business. The congeniality of CIWA networking events fosters the right atmosphere for collaboration and relationship building between brokers, markets and valuable business resources. As you exchange information with your peers, you get an inside view of what's happening on the State level that will help you shape a productive future.

These are all tools to help wholesale brokers and their market partners assess and leverage their business strategies.
