Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals

What Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals does

Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals (HAIP) is a Hawaii-based nonprofit professional membership association serving insurance and risk management professionals in Honolulu. Founded in March 1947 as the Insurance Women's Club of Honolulu and later renamed to include both men and women, HAIP operates as a local chapter of the International Association of Insurance Professionals (IAIP) and is governed by an annually rotating volunteer leadership team (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) supported by committee chairs covering education, membership, community relations, Healthy Hawaii, golf tournament, and technology. As of November 2020 the association had approximately 63 members.

HAIP's core offerings include a membership program (registration managed through IAIP's site-ym.com platform), professional education including continuing education classes and a Certified Leadership Professional (CLP) designation pathway, a mentorship program, monthly networking meetings, an annual golf tournament, the Confidence While Communicating (CWC) public speaking program, a Healthy Hawaii wellness initiative, and a high school safety essay competition. Distribution of member benefits occurs through direct in-person engagement at monthly meetings, the association's website, a bimonthly Aloha Notes newsletter, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).

The association's revenue model is subscription/sponsorship-based, comprising annual membership dues from individual insurance professionals in Hawaii and corporate partner contributions from approximately 20+ regional insurance carriers and agencies (including DTRIC, First Insurance of Hawaii, Island Insurance, Zephyr, HEMIC, Atlas, Brown & Brown, Markel, RLI, RPS, and Pacific Guardian Life) that pay for preferred pricing on member education and marketing exposure across HAIP's events and platforms. HAIP has no proprietary technology product, no software revenue, and no AI/ML capabilities, and it does not disclose financial statements.

• National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU): Professional association for health insurance and employee benefits specialists, with state and local chapters providing education, networking, and professional development — structurally analogous to HAIP's model in a different insurance line.
• Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers (CIAB): National association for commercial insurance brokers and agencies; comparable to HAIP as a membership organization serving the insurance distribution channel with education and advocacy programs.
• Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (Big 'I'): National trade association for independent insurance agents and brokers with state and local chapter structures; comparable to HAIP as a membership-based professional association serving insurance practitioners, but at much larger scale.
• Risk & Insurance Management Society (RIMS): Global professional association for risk managers with chapter structures; comparable to HAIP in offering continuing education, certification pathways, and member events for insurance/risk practitioners.
