Crowe’s senior audit manager Erin Hackett has been appointed to the Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) board of directors.
Hackett, who recently featured in Captive Insurance Times’ emerging talent series, was appointed to a one-year term, officially starting at the March 2020 board meeting.
In addition to her role at Crowe, Hackett serves as chair of CICA’s NEXTGen Young and New Professional’s Task Force.
She brings 10 years of audit experience with commercial insurers, risk retention groups, among others.
CICA president Dan Towle said: “As part of launching the NEXTGen programme the CICA board discussed ways that we could give the task force the support and resources they need to succeed.”
Towle added: “We believe having a designated young professional member on the board will be beneficial. The task force will have direct access to share their ideas with CICA leaders and it provides a young professional with exposure to governance and other career-enhancing leadership skills.”
CICA’s NEXTGen task force began meeting several months ago to develop strategies and recommendations for CICA to foster networking and provide education and professional development opportunities for new and young professionals to help support their career development.
Commenting on her appointment, Hackett said: “I couldn’t be more excited to join the CICA board of directors. Giving me the opportunity to join this impressive group shows CICA’s commitment to developing the next generation of captive professionals and leaders."
