ICCIE 20^th Anniversary Committee Moving Ahead!

In August of 2024 ICCIE will be celebrating 20 years since its launch, and we are forming a committee to help us plan our efforts for marking this milestone – not just for planning a special celebratory event (unlike any we have had in the past!), but for other activities, also to occur over several months. If you are interested in joining this committee to help us celebrate our 20th Anniversary, please contact the ICCIE office at info@iccie.org. We would love to have you involved!

CICA Continues as Lead ICCIE Supporter,

Increases its Financial Commitment

As CICA President Dan Towle announced at its spring conference, CICA and the CICA Board have committed to continue – and increase! – their contribution to $12,500, continuing their position as ICCIE’s biggest individual annual contributor. ICCIE and CICA have had a great partnership for many years, and this continued substantial support is very significant for the industry’s education program. Tremendous thanks to Dan and the whole CICA Board!

Appreciation for Former Faculty Members -

Joel Chansky and Derick White

Joel Chansky recently retired after being a long-time leader in the captive industry. One significant contribution Joel made was in his role as one of the founding faculty members of ICCIE when it launched in 2004. Joel continued teaching and improving our actuarial course for more than 15 years. As he moves into the next phase of his life we want to acknowledge and thank him for his enormous contributions to ICCIE. 

At the same time, long-time industry leader Derick White has also stepped down from teaching ICCIE courses, which he did for more than 10 years. Derick led the efforts to create and maintain our “Regulation of Captives” course, along with the late Jeff Kehler.

The high caliber of the ICCIE faculty is one if our strongest assets. Our deepest gratitude to Joel and Derick for their enormous efforts on behalf of ICCIE!
