Chapter Bylaws

About Us

The Rhode Island Chapter of the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters Society was organized in September 1962. One of the primary goals of the chapter has
been to encourage and assist CPCU candidates to attain the CPCU designation.

The chapter's success over the years is directly attributable to the involvement
of the individual members who take advantage of the many opportunities the
chapter provides.
