VCIA positive after Hill Day at Washington

The first post-COVID Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) Hill Day at the Capitol Building in Washinbgton DC this week was a great success, according to Kevin Mead, president of the VCIA.

In a statement on LinkedIn Mead said that a full day of meetings in the offices of Senators and Representatives from both parties shows the broad acceptance of captive insurance as a risk management tool.

“Great questions from bright and knowledgeable staffers and an enthusiastic welcome for our offer to act as an information source as risk management and insurance issues surface in Congress.

“Board Chair Gail Newman and Board member Joe Carter provided the owner perspective, while Joe Holahan and Zaw Win brought their legal and service provider acumen to the conversations. 

“We were ably guided to and through our appointments by Jeffrey Klein and Arshawn Teymoorian, and all the participants agreed that this was an initiative to be repeated and expanded.”

Mead added that VCIA members should be on the lookout for an extensive briefing on the visit and how the association protects and advances industry needs at the federal level.
