Dues-paying members of CIRCAD are represented on an Advisory Board to prioritize and guide the pre-competitive research conducted by CIRCAD’s university faculty, students, and staff. CIRCAD also serves as a nexus for its members to exchange ideas and needs with each other, government and non-government entities, climate-threatened communities, and specialized academic programs, centers, and institutes. Further, CIRCAD is a pipeline for talent, providing members with access to students trained and tested in the skills required for work in this field. By joining forces and pooling resources through CIRCAD, the ability of members to advance the commercial, social, and economic benefits of improved climate risk management is greatly magnified.
Our Members include many of the most engaged and innovative leaders in the field and collectively represent a broad array of actors from across the climate risk management spectrum. Our Members are all connected to the insurance industry but represent a diversity of specific sectors. We see this as beneficial to the Center in that our Members will have common goals but offer different perspectives and resources.
