VCIA’s 2024 annual general meeting was held during the 39th VCIA conference, where voting members elected the new 2024-2025 VCIA Board.
The new board includes Julie Bordo, PCH Mutual Insurance Company, Joe Carter, United Educators, re-elected to a second term, Aaron Ciullo, Marsh Captive Solutions, Gail Newman, Bright Horizons, re-elected to a second term, and Brenda Stewart, of AIG Captive Solutions.
The outgoing VCIA Board also approved Newman as chair, Carter as vice chair, Jason Palmer as treasurer, and Melinda Young as secretary.
“My fellow board members have put a tremendous amount of trust in me, and it’s great inspiration to help lead VCIA to new heights,” said Gail Newman, vice president of risk management at Bright Horizons.
The VCIA staff and board said it would like to thank outgoing board members Andrew Baillie, Lawrence Cook and Derick White for their great work over the years.
“I have a deep appreciation for the essential role captives play in supporting their members,” said Carter, United Educators’ vice president of business development and UE Experience.
“Helping lead VCIA is an opportunity to serve a wide spectrum of self-insurers across the country.”
The next VCIA board meeting, planned for October, will focus on incorporating stakeholder feedback and building out VCIA’s plan ahead of VCIA’s 40th anniversary in 2025.
