The Vermont Captive Insurance Association saw an increasing number of attendees for its annual conference in Burlington, Vermont. Attendance rose above last year’s mark, reaching just shy of 1100 participants, with 25 percent of conference attendees being captive owners.
“We are very pleased with the increase in sponsorship we received from the industry to present the VCIA conference. We would not be able to host this excellent event without the overwhelming support of our sponsors and exhibitors,” said Richard Smith, president of VCIA.
Awards were given to several industry participants for their service to the industry and to the association. The “Captive Crusader” award was granted to Michael Bemi of The National Catholic Risk Retention Group, and the Industry Service Award was given to Art Koritzinsky, director in the Alternative Risk Solutions Group at Marsh.
