• Emerging Insurance Professionals, San Francisco Chapter
  Emerging Insurance Professionals (EIP) is a social/networking group comprised of insurance professionals involved in risk management, broking, underwriting, claims handling, loss control, and reinsurance. EIP provides networking opportunities in informal and comfortable settings, often with a charitable emphasis. The organization targets individuals in the early years of their career looking to meet and develop relationships with other future industry leaders. 
  
  Through EIP's successful events, such as happy hours, fundraising events, and bowling tournaments, our network base has grown to more than 250 members and continues to gain momentum. The SF chapter is working to expand the current offerings for our members to include continuing educational events, additional charity fundraisers, golf tournaments in Northern California, and partnerships with other young professional organizations. With the SF chapter of EIP's partnership with the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation, our footprint on the insurance industry continues to grow.
