NEXTGen Leader Erin Hackett To Join CICA Board of Directors

The Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) has appointed Erin Hackett, senior audit manager with Crowe, to its board of directors. Her 1-year term will officially begin with the March 2020 board meeting.

Ms. Hackett also chairs CICA's NEXTGen—young and new professionals' task force.

"As part of launching the NEXTGen program, the CICA board discussed ways that we could give the task force the support and resources they need to succeed," explained CICA President Dan Towle. "We believe having a designated young professional member on the board will be beneficial. The task force will have direct access to share their ideas with CICA leaders, and it provides a young professional with exposure to governance and other career-enhancing leadership skills," Mr. Towle added.

CICA's NEXTGen task force began meeting several months ago to develop strategies and recommendations for CICA to foster networking and provide education and professional development opportunities for new and young professionals to help support their career development.

Ms. Hackett, who brings 10 years of audit experience with commercial insurers and risk retention groups, said of the opportunity, "I couldn't be more excited to join the CICA board of directors. Giving me the opportunity to join this impressive group shows CICA's commitment to developing the next generation of captive professionals and leaders."
