Mission Statement

The Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority provides cost-effective, fiscally sound liability, workers' compensation, property, and other lines of coverage for Member Entities.

Accreditation

The Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority) has met all of the high professional standards established by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) in the areas of governance, finance, claims control, safety and loss prevention, excess coverage, and risk management. CAJPA's accreditation process requires reviews by independent consultants in all of these areas including the areas of accounting, claims adjusting, and actuarial analysis.
