Welcoming Our New Sponsors: SWA Claims Management & NICB

We’re excited to share that the Agricultural Claims Association has two new sponsors joining our community — SWA Claims Management and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). We’re grateful for their support and happy to have them alongside us as we continue serving agricultural insurance professionals.

SWA Claims Management

SWA Claims Management is an independent adjusting firm that provides skilled adjusters for both catastrophe (CAT) and everyday claims. They also offer specialized support in areas like SIU work and fire investigations when more in-depth expertise is needed.

What stands out about SWA is their hands-on, people-first approach. They’re focused on doing things the right way, supporting their clients, and delivering quality work — values that align closely with our own at ACA. We’re thankful for their partnership and commitment to our industry.

National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB)

NICB is a nonprofit organization that works to prevent and fight insurance fraud and theft. They partner with insurance companies, consumers, and law enforcement to identify suspicious activity using data, intelligence, and investigations.

They also provide education and training to help industry professionals better understand and combat fraud. We appreciate NICB’s support of the ACA and their dedication to protecting the integrity of the insurance industry.

We’re proud to welcome both SWA Claims Management and NICB as sponsors of the Agricultural Claims Association. Their expertise, commitment, and support strengthen not only our organization but the broader agricultural claims community. We look forward to working together, sharing knowledge, and continuing to grow alongside these valued partners as we serve insurance professionals across the industry.

National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters (NAIIA) and the ACA Become Association Partners

As of January 29, the Agricultural Claims Association (ACA) is proud to announce our official association partnership with the National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters (NAIIA). This partnership brings together two complementary organizations committed to supporting insurance professionals through collaboration, shared resources, and industry connection. Our relationship is one of mutual benefit to two organizations that serve the claims industry in meaningful and impactful ways.

Through this partnership, NAIIA and ACA will work together to promote and advocate for one another’s associations while better connecting resources, education, and opportunities for members across the insurance industry. By aligning our efforts, we aim to strengthen professional development, foster collaboration, and create greater access to valuable tools and insights for claims professionals nationwide.

For NAIIA members, this partnership also brings direct benefits when engaging with ACA, including membership and sponsorship discounts, as well as special registration opportunities for the ACA Annual Conference. These shared opportunities reflect our commitment to making industry education and connection more accessible and impactful for all involved.

At ACA, our mission is to provide agricultural insurance professionals with training, education, resources, and support. Partnering with NAIIA allows us to further that mission while expanding our reach and strengthening our ties across the broader claims’ community. Likewise, NAIIA’s dedication to promoting professionalism, ethical standards, and education aligns closely with our own values and goals.

We are excited about what this partnership represents for both organizations and for the industry. By working together, NAIIA and ACA can continue to elevate the claims profession, support our members, and build stronger connections across the insurance landscape.

We look forward to a successful and collaborative partnership with NAIIA and to the opportunities this relationship will create for our members and the agricultural claims community.
