ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS

 

Individual Adjuster Membership

This membership category is designated for individuals actively engaged in the professional handling of insurance claims or actively seeking employment in this field. To qualify, applicants must hold a current and valid adjuster’s license issued by any state regulatory authority. Members must be employed by insurance carriers and/or self-insured entities, third party administrators, and independent adjusting companies representing insurance carriers. Their primary roles must encompass the investigation, negotiation, or settlement of insurance claims, or the supervision or management of such activities. Additionally, individuals who are currently unemployed but actively seeking employment within these sectors are also eligible for membership under this category, provided they continue to meet professional development requirements to maintain their license in good standing.

 

Corporate Membership

Insurance carriers with a minimum of five paid Individual Adjuster Members can apply for a corporate membership and cover the annual dues for all eligible employees, provided those employees qualify as Individual Adjuster Members at the time of application and maintain their membership throughout the duration of the Corporate’s membership.

 

Individual Vendor Membership

This membership category is open to professionals who do not qualify as an Individual Adjuster Member but predominantly support the claims insurance industry (Individual Vendor Member). Eligible individuals include, but are not limited to, appraisers, private investigators, attorneys specializing in insurance defense, engineers, contractors, salvage companies, and other professionals employed by entities that facilitate these activities. Individual Vendor Members are expected to actively participate in events and meetings, contributing in various capacities as determined by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee reserves the right to limit the number of Individual Vendor Members to maintain a balanced member base.

 

Exclusions: Public adjusters, attorneys, or any professionals whose primary role involves advocating on behalf of claimants in disputes with insurance entities are not eligible for membership. This exclusion also extends to any individual employed by or associated with entities that are adverse to insurance carriers or self-insured entities as part of their business operations.
