Beginning in 1969, the Wisconsin Education Association Inc. (WEAC) recognized the importance of providing quality benefits to its members and in response, decided to sponsor a trust fund that could provide its members the most effective health and welfare benefits than alternative insurance projects. This trust fund was named the WEA Insurance Trust. The Trust was officially formed on March 13, 1970 and with a $5,000 loan from WEAC, the first Board meeting took place in September 1970
