How Members Benefit
The West Virginia Self-Insurers Association offers a unique forum for members.
Only as a group can self-employers initiate input, change and reform to many areas that
affect self-insurers. Through the Association, self-insurer companies are assured a voice for
positive change and reform.
Annual Conference
Each year, the West Virginia Self-Insurers Association holds an annual conference.
This event is designed to offer opportunities for information exchange, review of
issues affecting self-insurers, and development by members of the Association's
agenda and areas of emphasis in the upcoming year. Key guests and speakers provide
insight and perspective into a variety of areas dealing with self-insured employers.
Historically, the event has enjoyed overwhelming participation by members.
Beyond these and other benefits to its members, the work and impact of the West
Virginia Self-Insurers Association ultimately benefits all companies and residents.
