NEWS FROM AICLA’S PRESIDENT During February, Tony Libke and I met with the Insurance Council of Australia to discuss AICLA’s submission in respect of the new Catastrophe Co-ordination Plan being developed by the Insurance Council. The new plan will replace the current Insurance Disaster Response Orgaisation and will be finalized in the near future. The Insurance Council liaised closely with AICLA on the new plan and agreed to adopt a number of changes we recommended. Importantly, the Insurance Council saw the benefit in early consultation with AICLA and we hope to be involved, as appropriate, in the formative stages of other policy development by the Council. The new Catastrophe Co-ordination Plan is a policy document and does not cover operational aspects relating to a disaster. Broadly the operational matters have been identified and it has been agreed each of the issues raised by AICLA warrant further discussion. A range of other matters was also discussed with Insurance Council CEO Kerri Kelly including our plan to lift the minimum standards for loss adjusters. It was agreed that regular meetings and ongoing dialogue between the two bodies would be beneficial. I am happy to announce that a joint AICLA/ANZIIF Claims Convention will be held on 22-24 August at the Shangri-la Hotel in Sydney. This is the first occasion that AICLA and ANZIIF have partnered to create one unified claims Conference. A quality list of speakers and a diverse range of topics under a “Catastrophe” theme is being developed for the event. A joint committee with representatives from some of ANZIIF’s Claims Discussion Groups has been established to manage the convention. The committee is working to ensure that the topics will appeal to all levels of the industry and will include not only the traditional topics but also those of interest to liability practitioners. We expect to generate wide support from insurers, reinsurers, loss adjusters, risk managers, brokers, suppliers and others associated with the industry. It is pleasing to report that for first time in over three years, there has been a net growth, albeit modest, in membership. I believe the new streamlined application procedures will assist applicants wishing to join the Institute. I ask all members to encourage colleagues who are working in the profession to consider joining AICLA. Stephen Thorpe President, AICLA Stephen Thorpe 2 AICLA International Division Membership of the International Division now stands at 104 and has almost doubled in the past 18 months. The Division conducts regular meetings by teleconference and has Councillors in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong. Educational activities for members during the year included a Business Interruption seminar in Malaysia and breakfast meetings in Hong Kong and Singapore. AICLA was also a supporting organisation for the 3rd Asian Claims Management Conference in Singapore. In April 2005 the President, Andrew Thomas, and International Development Director, Ian McWalter, made visits to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong and met with members and industry associations. Negotiations with the Malaysian Insurance Institute and Singapore College of Insurance and the Philippines Adjusters Association for the promotion of ICT were advanced during the year. These efforts were spearheaded by Jaye Kumar and Ian McWalter. National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters – Catastrophe Service The National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters, NAIIA, is offering members of the Canadian Independent Adjusters’ Association the opportunity to participate in their Member Catastrophe Assistance Service. An overview of the service is outlined below. CIAA Members interested in being included on the roster are asked to complete the form and return it to the CIAA National Office. Overview NAIIA Member Catastrophe Service: NAIIA is developing a roster of member firm adjusters/CIAA member firm adjusters willing to be accessible for handling losses as a result of storm activity. Registered participants are required to be free of any existing catastrophe loss handling programs or business amalgamations either with insurance providers or other NAIIA members. Enrollment is not binding but rather provides fellow members seeking assistance with a basis for assembling a cadre of adjusters or claims response teams. NAIIA staff will maintain the roster of individual names, member firms, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers and fax numbers and will, when needed and directed by the President, alert the membership to the roster’s availability.
