Young professionals dedicated to the California Wholesale and Specialty Insurance Market

CIWA Future was formed in 2017 by the California Insurance Wholesalers Association (CIWA). Our mission is to connect Excess & Surplus lines insurance industry professionals under 40 to a wider network of dedicated and seasoned insurance experts.

Our key focus will be to provide education, advocacy, and networking opportunities for the next generation of Excess & Surplus lines industry leaders. We will accomplish this by providing members with educational resources and holding regional events in California where young professionals can learn, form relationships, and become further engaged in our great industry to ensure a bright future.
