BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIATION
Credit Insurers Association, Inc. a non-profit trade association, was formed in February 1975 by 22 life companies.

The purpose of the Association is:

1. To promote dialogue between executives of credit insurance companies.
2. To encourage innovations in credit insurance administration.
3. To develop rapport between members of the Association and insurance regulatory officials.

In October 1998, by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, a new category of membership (associate members) was allowed to join and participate in the association. Membership was also opened to associates. Fees for members and associates are assessed annually. There is a fee for members and associates and their guests to attend each meeting. Each member company is represented by its own appointee on the Board of Directors of the Association. To pursue our purposes, we hold two meetings each year.
