What’s NEW @ CIU Fall 2021

As the leaves fall and we see signs of winter, we hope everyone is staying warm, safe and healthy.

Travel and meeting protocols have slowly eased however, the CIU would like to reaffirm our commitment to our members and volunteers, as we plan for continuing education presentations and professional development in the safest and most effective manner.

CIU Webinars

These events include our recent CIU Fall Webinar featuring Dr Nicola Charlton. We would like to thank Dr Charlton for her insightful presentation on liver disorders and SwissRe for hosting the webinar with over 330 registrants from across Canada and the United States. The presentation slides will soon be uploaded on CIU.ca/Presentation Library.

CIU Winter Seminar

With no January 2021 Education Seminar, the Program Committee is happy to announce the 2022 Education Seminar will be held virtually this year. The committee is working on scheduling underwriting topics across 2 days on January 24 and 25th 2022.

CIU AGM 2022

The CIU is planning to host the 2022 Annual General Meeting in person at the Delta Toronto from June 12-15th 2022. Many of you are looking forward to connecting again with your peers safely, and CIU is eager to offer learning sessions that embody CIU’s commitment to Underwriting Education. We are also excited to see everyone then.

CIU Membership & Sponsorship

The CIU membership and sponsorship drive will commence in the new year and we are counting on your continued support. In the meantime, please ensure your membership info is accurate on the CIU directory by December 17th, 2021. For any changes, please submit a change request using this form.

CIU Website

In preparation for future CIU events and membership renewals, the Technical Committee is working on making CIU.ca a member password-protected site. This will allow each CIU member to make changes to their membership online directly, register, pay/attend events securely and also access CIU member-only pages. Once implemented, communication will be sent to each CIU member asking to register individually and choose a password.

Further details on upcoming events and CIU changes will be shared as they become available via bulletin and on CIU.ca.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the CIU Executive members via email, or on CIU.ca in the Contact Us form.
