Section 13 — Summa CHIP appears to be one of the few really innovative, nrsuran:e ideas to be developed in recent times and, as such, is likely to experience some opposition as well as some necessary adjustments as it matures through national application. Despite the fact that CHIP will continue to evolve, it is currently a fully -developed program: the result of considerable effort or, the part of a qu,te large group of specialists. CHIP is also archlypical of a new class of programs of national significance. These programs are character- ized by cooperative PubiicrPrivate Section organized efforts of mutual benefit. Such programs are encour- aged by the federal government. and are particularly attractive when the consumer is the principal benefi- ciary, as is the case with CHIP. Finally. while CHIP is new and untried on a grand scale. interest is high indeed, and the Program seems well worth serious consideration by virtually every city in the Country. CHIP is currently supported nationally by the AVCO Financial Insurance Group (AFIG) which will under- write CHIP insurance policies in all 50 states as approriate. �- CHIP is also supported by the American and Canadian Universal Insurance Groups (AUIG/CUIG) as a result of former senior managers of the New Hampshire Insurance Group, now principals with AUIG, purchasing New Hampshire's interest in the Program. It has been the intention of the CHIP insurance carriers from the beginning of development to represent the Program nationally through a frioka of insurance groups. Negotiation are unevently underway with a number of prospective 3rd "partners". — Addition CHIP materials are available: CHIP Master Policy Endorsements & Income Formula CHIP Marketing Newsletter Home Safety & Security Guide (For Homeowners) CHIP Legal Opinions (City Attorney only) Home Safety & Security Education Program Checklist CHIP Community Profile Ouestionnair CIMA, Cambria CIMA.
