CENTRAL CLAIM EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATION

CCEA brings claim executives together for meaningful peer exchange, industry-focused education and the relationships that move the claims profession forward. 

ABOUT US

A Place to Learn, Share and Lead.

For more than 75 years, CCEA has given senior claims professionals a place to step outside the day-to-day, compare notes with peers and build relationships that last well beyond the meeting room.

​

Members come together to learn from one another, talk candidly about what’s changing across the industry and stay connected to a trusted network of claims leaders.
