How to Join the BIG
All CCA carrier members are invited to participate in the BIG. Some carriers have multiple individuals participating as the topics the BIG covers can range from technical to operational to marketing and customer-focused solutions. Individuals on the BIG have agreed to receive invitations to review and evaluate associate member presentations and solutions, and in some cases, may be asked to provide input based on individual business and technical experiences. The BIG also meets face-to-face twice per year at CCA's annual
events.
