Engage with the CIAB's International Working Group

The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers (CIAB) is the leading U.S.-based trade association that represents the largest and most influential commercial insurance and employee benefits brokerages around the world:

Industry Events - Hosts marquee conferences such as the Insurance Leadership Forum (ILF) and Employee Benefits Leadership Forum (EBLF).
Advocacy - Acts as the voice of commercial insurance brokers on Capitol Hill and with regulatory bodies in the U.S. and abroad.
Market Intelligence - Provides data, benchmarking, and trends on commercial insurance, benefits, technology, and the economy.
Talent & Development - Offers training and education programs for new to the industry, early career, emerging leaders and senior professionals.
Working Groups - Facilitates peer-to-peer learning through role-based and topic-specific working groups (e.g., International, CFO, COO, CIO, etc).

Why it matters:

CIAB plays a central role in shaping insurance policy, regulations, and industry innovation.
It connects top brokers for collaboration, shared learning, and business growth.

International Working Group:

The International Working Group (IWG) is a non-competitive forum for CIAB broker members to network, share ideas, and forge partnerships with global market leaders. The IWG is looking to increase broker participation from both U.S. and non-U.S. firms.

What does it mean to be a committee member of the IWG?

This is a low commitment membership and you will get as much out of it as you want to put in. Working group members receive:

Invites to the annual IWG in-person meeting in the U.S. each October
Opportunities to network with peers in the industry and to discuss important topics and emerging trends

As a member of CIAB, working group participation is complementary. To learn more about joining CIAB, visit our website.
