ICMIF Americas is the regional association of the International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF). Founded in 1979 by ICMIF with 11 member organisations in three countries, today, ICMIF Americas represents 74 member organisations in 19 countries throughout North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
Collectively, ICMIF Americas members represent USD 45 billion in insurance premiums and hold USD 247 billion in total assets (2022 figures). ICMIF Americas member organizations employ a total of 58,000 people and serve 55 million members/policyholders across the region.
Members of the ICMIF Americas regional association convene every two years at the ICMIF Americas Conference. In 2023, 193 delegates from 61 companies in 14 countries gathered in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) for the 2023 ICMIF Americas Conference, hosted by Seguros Unimed. The theme of the 2023 Conference was Bridging the protection gaps, which focused on how ICMIF members engage in prevention and mitigation, sustainability, product innovation and cost efficiency as a way to leave no one behind.
ICMIF Americas runs two working groups that meet regularly throughout the year, usually in a virtual format. These are the Latin American Sustainability Working Group and Latin American HR Working Group.
