The Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) has appointed Diana Hardy, partner at RH CPAs, and Bailey Roese, partner at Dentons Bingham Greenebaum, as co-chairs of its NEXTGen Young and New Professionals Committee. The NEXTGen initiative aims to provide education and networking opportunities, as well as create a supportive community for young and new professionals in the industry. Roese says: “Interest and excitement surrounding captives is higher than ever, and it has never been more important to attract top talent and grow new leaders to ensure our industry's success far into the future. “NEXTGen has meant so much to me as someone newer to the captive space, and I look forward to welcoming others into the fold.” Hardy states: “It’s great that NEXTGen provides a vehicle to bring us all together. Whether you’re new in the captive space or you’ve been around for a while and want to help promote young and new captive professionals, all are welcome.” CICA president Dan Towle comments: "NEXTGen has found a great formula. By combining education about the industry and their personal experiences, NEXTGen members are creating a supportive network for each other, and presenting captive insurance careers in ways that resonate with the next generation. "Diana and Bailey are wonderful leaders. I look forward to seeing NEXTGen continue to build on the progress the committee has made."
