IRUA's Four Core Services Are:
Education, Training & Networking - Multiple education events are held throughout the year with a combination of full and half-day programs, lunch & learns and webinar events covering claims and/or underwriting and/or career-enhancing topics and are open to members and non-members. Additionally, and in furtherance of ongoing industry professional education, the IRUA was an initial financial supporter and provided technical assistance in the development of the Associate in Reinsurance (ARe) Designation Program through the Insurance Institute of America.
Annual Conference - The Annual Conference features hot topic presentations and Executive Round table sessions. It is held in the Spring each year in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of Members which includes the annual election of officers and directors.
Scholars Program - Scholarship awards are available and distributed each year to member company interns whose submission was selected as a winning insurance/reinsurance themed essay. All award monies are disbursed based on the recommendations of the Scholars Committee comprised of member company representatives.
Knowledge and Information - In addition to the knowledge gained through its Education and Conference programs, IRUA maintains an archive of pertinent and valuable information through its Journal of Reinsurance library. Articles and papers cover such relevant topics as underwriting risk & exposures, current and emerging risks; best practices such as modeling & actuarial analysis; claims trends, developments & practices; regulatory & legal issues and developments and other areas of interest to reinsurance practitioners. A benefit of membership is that IRUA members have access to the archives of the JOR comprised of over 400 articles spanning almost the last 30 years.
