The Vermont booth at the annual RIMS conference this week was quite the hive of activity. A number of representatives from organizations both here and abroad came by the booth to talk about setting up a captive in Vermont. I personally met with over 20 people interested in captives AND in the VCIA conference this August – and there were usually 6 or 7 of us Vermonters around answering questions and hawking the domicile. Even though there are over 10,000 attendees to the conference, Vermont continues to stand out as the place to go to talk captives.

Ian Davis, who recently took over the Director of Financial Services job from Dan Towle, did a terrific job in his first RIMS herding us cats. And it was great seeing Dan in his new role as President of CICA, as well as many other old friends from the broader captive community. Next year – San Antonio!

Thank you all very much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

VCIA President
