ACORD membership is a strategic decision
that positions you to define/enhance your business strategy
through the participation, development and implementation
of industry standards based on your priorities.
Your peers in the industry are actively participating, developing
and implementing the standards. ACORD membership provides
access to a range of ACORD Standards and Member Services
and Members' Only access to key information to assist in
the implementation of the standards.
Membership assures your organization an active voice in the
prioritization, development, maintenance and management
of ACORD Standards for Property & Casualty/Surety, Life, Annuity & Health,
and Reinsurance & Large Commercial. Through ACORD's Standards Process your
organization can collaborate with underwriters, distributors,
other solution providers, user groups and other related
organizations (including Third Party Administrators and standards
organizations) to define standards specifications in response
to industry needs.
"MIB is very excited
about our continued relationship with ACORD. We feel that
our strong support of ACORD's standards initiatives is one
of the best ways we can serve our membership. The work that
they are doing, with the help of industry participation,
will help our membership achieve the sort of efficient, secure,
and tightly-integrated communications that the industry needs."
--David Olson, Visioneering Director, MIB, Inc.
