Empowering insurance careers

At IIBC we are continually growing and evolving to meet the educational needs of BC’s thriving p&c insurance industry.

We offer a variety of CIP classes, Level 1 Licensing classes and networking events. The IIBC serves over 5,000 members province-wide.

Governing Council Members 2024 / 2025

Our volunteers are indispensable to Institute governance as their contributions directly impact the success of all our event activities and educational endeavors. The Executive Committee is elected for a one-year mandate, renewable for two years. Only members in good standing can be appointed to the Council.

If you would like to make a difference and give back to the insurance industry, contact us for more information on the Council and other volunteer opportunities.
