About the job

Company Overview

Educational & Institutional Insurance Administrators, Inc. (EIIA) is a Member-driven consortium of private, faith-inspired colleges, universities and seminaries providing innovative insurance and risk management services. EIIA was formed over fifty (50) years ago during the 1960s when a number of historically Black colleges and universities associated with the United Methodist Church were unable to obtain property and casualty coverages from the traditional insurance marketplace. The United Methodist Church assisted the colleges by encouraging them to purchase the coverage as a group. This generated adequate premium volume for an insurance company to offer coverage. EIIA was formally incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in 1976 with the specific purpose of providing group purchasing and administration of insurance programs for higher education institutions.

The group purchasing of the property and casualty coverages for these colleges was so successful that the concept spread to employee health and welfare benefit programs, long-term disability, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and student health and accident needs of these institutions. Risk management services were added to aid these institutions in managing and avoiding risk.

EIIA’s office is located in downtown Chicago and currently works in a hybrid/hoteling office environment. EIIA’s staff of insurance and risk management professionals serve more than one hundred and forty-five (145) higher education institutions located in thirty-nine (39) states. In addition, EIIA operates two (2) Vermont domiciled captive insurance companies and two (2) grantor trusts.

EIIA Members participate in the Master Property & Casualty (P&C) Program consisting of 11 coverages. The Risk Management (RM) Team supports their assigned Members with risk management advice, campus surveys, presentations and more.
