California JPIA

Government AdministrationCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees

When appropriate insurance coverage became unobtainable in the 1970s, a group of 33 progressive cities joined together to form the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority. The California JPIA was established in 1978 for the purpose of providing liability protection for its members from losses and lawsuits. Today, the California JPIA is one of the largest municipal self-insurance pools in the state, and has grown to more than 120 participating members.

The members take an active role in determining the programs and services that will be provided by the Authority. Council members, city managers, finance officers, and risk managers all participate in directing the progression of the organization toward a properly maintained and risk free environment. Together they ensure the ongoing efficiency of member services by establishing positive relations and educational awareness.

The California JPIA works with the members to reduce the frequency and severity of claims. Through risk analysis and continued education, the California JPIA helps its members identify exposures and prevent losses. Each member agency is assigned a professional Risk Manager to serve its specific needs and to help the agency determine its risk management strategy.
