The Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) has appointed Diana Hardy and Bailey Roese as co-chairs of the Association’s NEXTGen young and new professionals committee.
Hardy is a partner at RH CPAs, PLLC, and Roese is a partner at law firm Dentons Bingham Greenebaum.
“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,” Roese said.
“NEXTGen has meant so much to me as someone newer to the captive space, and I look forward to welcoming others into the fold.”
Also serving on the NEXTGen committee are Dylan Feringa, Molly Hentges, Nicholas Hentges, Samantha Jones, Prabal Lakhanpal, Joe McDonald, Adam Miholic, Brittany Nevins, Claire Richardson and Michael Zuckerman.
Hardy said whether someone is new in the captive space or has been around for a while and want to help promote young and new captive professionals, all are welcome.
“It’s great that NEXTGen provides a vehicle to bring us all together,” she said.
CICA president Dan Towle said that 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,” Towle added. I look forward to seeing NEXTGen continue to build on the progress the committee has made.”
