Toledo Insurance Association

Professional @Aegis General Insurance Agency

How did the organization start?In the early Thirties a group of men with a common purpose met quite often at lunch and discussed information of general interest to all in a similar business. From the group discussions was born the concept of a more permanent, formalized association, “The Toledo Association of Claim Men.” The “Association” had as its overall objectives the establishment of a forum for the fair and honest exchange of ideas and information as well as an environment conducive to professional enhancement. A constitution and by-laws was adopted toward these ends on April 12, 1956. The first revision (our present Constitution and by-laws) occurred on February 8, 1962. Specific objectives of the Association include:•To promote harmony and cordial business relations among the members; to exchange information concerning matters of interest; to promote the general welfare of the companies represented.•To ensure, through cooperation of its members, such administration of claims for insurance companies or companies which are self-insurers as will result in prompt and just settlement of meritorious claims.•To promote plans for cooperation in vigorously resisting collusion, deception and false or fraudulent claims; to promptly discourage and expose dishonest, unscrupulous and unethical practices, whether indulged in by professional men or laymen.
