MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Institutes, a not-for-profit comprised of diverse affiliates that educate, elevate, and connect people in the essential disciplines of risk management and insurance, have affiliated with the Insurance Accounting and Systems Association (IASA), which primarily focuses on providing education and networking opportunities within the areas of insurance accounting and finance.

"We are excited by the opportunity IASA provides for The Institutes to serve those specifically interested in the critical areas of insurance accounting and finance," said Peter L. Miller, CPCU, president and CEO of The Institutes. “We are looking forward to leveraging The Institutes’ expertise and resources in collaboration with the IASA to expand the valuable education and networking opportunities available to this segment of the risk management and insurance ecosystem."

The affiliation also enables IASA to realize operational efficiencies while increasing its ability to serve and grow membership by leveraging The Institutes’ breadth and depth of subject-matter expertise throughout other areas of risk management and insurance. IASA will maintain its current membership services, chapters and events, and will operate as a business unit of The Institutes.

“The affiliation is an exciting time in the evolution of IASA and a strong addition to The Institutes,” said Douglas Ramsey, the 2023–24 IASA board chair and vice president of technology for cloud enablement at Travelers. “IASA will continue to serve and grow membership by joining The Institutes in the collective work to educate, elevate, and connect those in risk management and insurance.”

Our shared future looks incredibly bright.”

The affiliation with IASA further expands The Institutes’ dedication to educating, elevating, and connecting those within the risk management and insurance community.
