The Insurance Institute of British Columbia  (IIBC)

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

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.
