That is, to demonstrate through our visual identity and communications that we are like minded with members and captive professionals in being innovative, versatile and value driven. 3 Showcase VCIA's forward thinking and our ability to meet the emerging needs of the captive industry. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more exciting and innovative strategic initiatives to be rolled out in 2025. #VCIA #CaptiveInsurance #CaptiveExcellenceStartsHere

Midwesterners, take note! The VCIA St Louis Roadshow is less than two weeks out, and on April 2nd at the Alberici Constructors headquarters we'd love for you to join us for a great afternoon of captive networking and education.

You can register by following this link: https://lnkd.in/em3mDA-d Part I, led by Benjamin Gould and Thomas (Tom) Green, ARM, CIC, will be an overview of captives, why their formed, their different types, and much more. Then you'll hear from Dan Petterson and Brittany Nevins with the State of Vermont about Vermont's captive infrastructure and how it may support your business. Then - our favorite part, perhaps - in part II you'll learn real captive success stories from executives who lead or have led them.
