Vermont Business Magazine Following the success of last month’s VCIA Conference, ICCIE (The International Center for Captive Insurance Education) today announced in partnership with VCIA its fundraising results. ICCIE’s 20th Anniversary Reception held opening night at VCIA’s 39th Annual Conference yielded close to $60,000, far surpassing previous fundraising years.
“Usually, we anticipate about $10,000 coming in from our annual reception sponsorships,” commented Mitch Cantor, ICCIE’s Executive Director. “Due to the milestone of our 20th anniversary and the high visibility of the VCIA Conference, we netted 500% more fundraising this year. A far better outcome than any of us could have imagined!”
The fundraising will be used to further develop ICCIE’s captive educational offerings and helps solidify the organization’s standing for the future as the captive industry continues to rapidly grow and more professionals seek captive career development.
VCIA CEO Kevin Mead offered his congratulations to ICCIE and spoke to how important it is for VCIA to see ICCIE thrive. “We, like mostly all captive trade associations and domiciles, are seriously invested in the success and sustainability of ICCIE. And for us it’s that much more personal—since VCIA conceived, designed and implemented this outstanding educational program all the way back in 2000. I am personally absolutely thrilled for ICCIE, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in close partnership.”
In another fundraising initiative, ICCE returns with its popular “All Captive Conference Ticket Raffle” in which VCIA is participating. More details can be found on the ICCIE website. Contact Executive Director at [email protected] for more information related to ICCIE.
ICCIE (pronounced “I SEE”) was developed in response to a need expressed by captive insurance professionals for in-depth educational offerings, information on current topics, and a professional designation. ICCIE’s mission is to be the premier provider of captive insurance education and to offer the preeminent professional designation in captive insurance.
The Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA), established in 1985, provides lobbying support on both the state and federal levels for over 400 members, and offers captive education as well as opportunities for information-sharing and a network of mutual support that ensures an environment favorable to the continued growth and health of the captive industry and the Vermont captive community. VCIA holds its annual conference every August in Burlington, Vermont, usually attracting over a thousand professionals and boosting Vermont tourism.
