ICCIE Updates: ICCIE Awards a New Fellow and Announces 18 Designees
January 23, 2018
The International Center for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE) ended 2017 with a bang as it awarded the ICCIE Fellow designation and announced that 18 individuals received the ICCIE Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) or Certificate in Captive Insurance (CCI) professional designations.
Lesley Thompson Announced as ICCIE Fellow
At the Cayman Captive Forum general session last November, ICCIE awarded its Fellow designation to Lesley Thompson from MaplesFS Limited. The new designation, launched in early 2017, is reserved for those who have earned and maintained the ACI designation, have significant experience working full time in the captive industry, and have demonstrated significant commitment to the industry through service. Find details on the designation and its requirements.
ICCIE Trained Organizations Recognized
The designation of ICCIE Trained Organization was announced last year, and it refers to firms that have committed to educating their employees through ICCIE or hiring ICCIE-educated professionals. Such firms will be certified by ICCIE as ICCIE Trained Organizations and will be recognized on the ICCIE website. Additionally, at the firm's election, they may display the certification on their website and marketing materials.
To qualify as an ICCIE Trained Organization, a firm must meet both the following requirements.
- At least 20 percent of the captive professionals in the organization must hold the ACI in good standing.
- At least 30 percent of the company's captive professionals must be ACIs or CCI holders or be currently enrolled in either the ACI or CCI program.
A company interested in securing recognition as an ICCIE Trained Organization may apply via the application form. There is no fee for applying as an ICCIE Trained Organization or for receiving or maintaining such recognition. Find additional information.
