CILA EXPANDS INTERNATIONAL REACH WITH ILASA COLLABORATION

The Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters (CILA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Institute of Loss Adjusters Southern Africa (ILASA) to establish a framework for collaboration and benefit for members in Southern Africa. The partnership is expected to lay the groundwork for further international agreements as CILA looks to expand its international reach and relevance in international markets.

The MOU will facilitate collaboration on knowledge sharing, training and events.

“This MOU is a demonstration of the commitment we made in our recent manifesto to create global collaborations which help to build trust, expertise and ethics. This recognises that our members operate in all countries and territories and often transcend international boundaries particularly in major and complex claims arenas. We look forward to working with the ILASA to exchange views and co-operation on matters of common interest and to be able to serve our members locally.”
