Vermont Captive Insurance Association Elects 4 New Board Members

The Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) has elected four new board members: Ian Davis, senior vice president, captive insurance at M&T Bank; Ryan Gadapee, shareholder at Primmer Piper Eggleston & Cramer; Cameron MacArthur, founder and CEO at A.I. Insurance; and Melinda Young, vice president of risk management at Alberici Constructors.

The four new board members will participate in their first VCIA board meeting in October.

"On behalf of the entire VCIA board, we are thrilled to add these new members, who we know will bring new ideas and energy to the organization," VCIA Board Chair Tracy Hassett, president and CEO of edHEALTH, said in a statement. "It's an exciting time, as we are about to begin a strategic planning process to ensure that the VCIA remains the premier captive association and a major educational and networking resource for the entire industry."

VCIA President Kevin Mead offered similar sentiments. "Ian, Ryan, Cameron, and Melinda bring incredible assets to the VCIA Board," Mr. Mead said in the statement. "Not only that, they offer diverse perspectives that will be essential to our process, coming from the banking, legal, insurance software, and risk management, captive insurance fields, respectively."

This was the first time VCIA board voting was conducted virtually. The association's 2023 annual general meeting and captive state of the union has also been moved online, scheduled for November 2, with further details to come.
