CSAC Excess Insurance Authority

The CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (EIA) was formed as a Joint Powers Agency in 1979 to serve the insurance and risk management needs of California counties. Membership in the EIA is open to all CSAC member counties. Most of the counties in California are members of the EIA. The EIA has dramatically reduced member county excess insurance costs by using the combined purchasing power created by the group. Non-member counties have also benefited from the competitive role that the EIA has assumed in the public sector insurance marketplace. The EIA is governed by a board of directors comprised of one representative from each member county. The EIA is accredited by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities and recognized as a highly successful and effective organization.
