About Ahou

Our Story

Brief History

The Association of Home Office Underwriters (AHOU) is an international insurance and financial services association with more than 2,750 members. The association was founded in 2002 when the Home Office Life Underwriters Association (HOLUA) and Institute of Home Office Underwriters (IHOU) joined forces to provide one unified voice for life, health, and living benefits underwriting professionals.

Mission

We are an association dedicated to advancing the underwriting profession, the education that helps support it, as well as the careers of those who work within our industry. We believe in helping underwriters further their understanding of mortality, morbidity and risk management in order to advance their careers.

Purpose Statement

AHOU offers ongoing networking and professional development opportunities throughout the entire year for underwriters in every stage of their career. Whether you’re just starting out or have risen to senior leadership, we have an array of education resources to help you stay competitive while better understanding and assessing risk. From the AHOU Annual Conference and in-person courses to webinars and panel discussions with industry leaders, our readily-accessible and on-demand materials offer timely content to help you meet the challenges of today and surpass your career goals in the future.
