About AIRROC

The Association of Insurance & Reinsurance Run-Off Companies (AIRROC) was started in 2004 when a handful of companies with run-off books came together to voice their common concerns associated with run-off and their desire to work together to identify ways to find solutions to their common problems. After several meetings, they had the critical mass to go forward and AIRROC was incorporated 12/14/04.

AIRROC, a US based non-profit association, is an organization of companies that have legacy business in their portfolio. Membership is on a corporate level and given the impact and importance of legacy business to the entire industry, AIRROC has attracted many talented and experienced participants. The Association has 47 members, including major US and international insurance and reinsurance companies, well-known rehabilitations, receiverships and liquidations that impact a significant portion of US and overseas business, brokers, third-party administrators and run-off managers that handle business for the risk bearing companies. AIRROC also welcomes entities that aren’t eligible for membership to get involved with supporting our initiatives as Corporate Partners. The organization’s 15-member board of directors, in conjunction with the association’s Executive Director, manages and executes AIRROC’s affairs with the assistance of specially designated officers of the Association.
