Texas Chapter

The IASA Texas Chapter was founded in 1952 and is comprised of members from the state of Texas. The purpose of our chapter is to provide members with opportunities to engage in professional networking, industry education, earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, and informational updates regarding the insurance industry, critical to the areas in which they live. Our chapter offers these opportunities through virtual and in person events, which provides opportunity to network and earn CPE. Topics may include evaluating investments, economic outlook, auditing standards, monitoring and control, rating agency activities, world class implementations, forensics accounting, reinsurance, ethics and Stat/GAAP updates to name just a few. We welcome you to join our chapter!
