Formed in 1966, CAIW is a national association of insurance professionals. CAIW focuses on education, networking, and personal development of individuals affiliated with the insurance industry, both directly and indirectly. CAIW provides insurance professionals with a forum to showcase their dedication to the consumer and the industry through programmes such as the Insurance Information Campaign. In 1981, CAIW expanded its mandate, through the Insurance Information Campaign, to include educating the public about general insurance. Each year, CAIW member associations across Canada promote the positive aspects of the Insurance Industry.
