Note the VCIA Conference bag in the background : )

We are all working under trying circumstances these days as we work our way through this pandemic. But here is an example I think we can all agree goes above and beyond. This is an actual picture of Ed Koral, one of our intrepid panelists during yesterday’s VCIA webinar on Adapting your Captive Program to a Shifting Insurance Market. Talk about adapting!

Ed is a managing director with BDO’s Insurance Risk Advisory Group, a longtime VCIA member, former board member and recipient of VCIA’s vaunted Captive Crusader award in 2019. He is currently working from his home in New York City (COVID-19 ground zero) and has to share both physical and mental space with his wife and two children. Because of the noisy work going on outside his building he needed to use a closet as his studio for the webinar. As fellow presenter Andrew Baillie of AES said, it’s a little Harry Potteresque.

Thank you, Ed! And thank you Andrew, Steve Bauman of AXA XL, and Christine Brown from Vermont’s Department of Financial Regulation for a great presentation.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
