local member associations
Edmonton Insurance Association
EIA was founded in 1981 and was known as the Insurance Women of Edmonton. The association was formed to help women in the insurance industry network with other women and increase their business and insurance knowledge through monthly meetings with guest speakers and seminars. This was the first business opportunity for many women in Edmonton to meet and network. Membership in the association was and continues to be supported by many of the industry companies.
Membership was strong and continued to grow. In 1985 the EIA became a member association of the Canadian Association of Insurance Women. At that time the EIA became the sister association the Insurance Professionals of Calgary and we are still linked with them today. Locally the EIA hosted monthly member meetings with guest speakers; wine and cheese networking events along with other events to raise funds for local charities. Members also represented the EIA at the Annual General Meeting and Convention of the CAIW by participating in the various awards. Our members have participated in the public speaking contest, essay contest and our association has made submissions to win other national awards that are offered..
