The North Carolina Captive Insurance Association (NCCIA) has appointed Lea Riddle of McGriff Insurance Services as its chairman for 2019 and 2020.
Riddle succeeds Leon Rives of Rives & Associates, who served as chairman in 2018 and 2019.
Also elected at the board’s annual meeting, was Anne Marie Towle, formerly of Marsh, as vice chair, taking on the role from Dan Reppert of Financial Risk Analysts, while Matt Holycross of The Taft Companies was named as treasurer, succeeding Riddle.
In addition, Mickey Payseur of Butler and Stowe was re-elected as treasurer.
NCCIA’s president and CEO Thomas Adams said that the board of directors voted a change in the bylaws that moved the annual meeting of the NCCIA board from December to coincide with the annual conference of the association that is moving from August to May.
He explained that this means the newly elected officers will serve a shorter term in 2019 to 2020 than in previous years.
Commenting on the shorter term, Riddle said: "That change is not going to slow us down this year. All of our committees met at our just concluded annual conference and have meetings scheduled in September. Keep your eye on North Carolina."
