Special Events and Networking Opportunities

Membership Savings

The CIP Society offers access to Venngo’s MemberPerks^TM savings program that can net members discounts on everyday or special purchases or trips.

Employers Benefit

A ‘Chartered’ title shows both your employer and colleagues that you have the knowledge, experience and ambition to succeed in a fast-paced, competitive industry. The bottom line is that educated and qualified personnel inevitably lead to a more productive work force for the employer.

More Benefits

Membership in the CIP Society also offers opportunities to contribute and volunteer at the Insurance Institute. As a new grad, you benefit from free membership for a portion or all of the first year (depending on election).
