Effective Captive Advocacy Starts Here.
VCIA champions and protects the captive industry in Vermont and beyond and our annual Legislative Day is a critical part of the process.
VCIA Hill Day
A renewed, annual visit to Washington D.C. as VCIA leaders engage in important meetings for updates on any looming federal legislation and regulations that may impact captives.
A full "Hill Day" report, sponsored by 40th Anniversary Emerald and Pearl Sponsors, M&T Bank/Wilmington Trust; AIG; AM Best; Marsh; Old Republic Risk Management; and WTW will be published to members soon after the event.

A Meticulous, Months-in-the-Making Effort to Shape the Annual Vermont Captive Bill
Legislative day is a critical event in which Vermont lawmakers see just how impactful the captive industry is to the Green Mountain State.
Legislator Luncheon
Local VCIA members can join us in Montpelier as we meet and educate lawmakers on the scope of captive insurance and how Vermont leads the way worldwide.
Captive State of the Industry
Fresh into the New Year, Legislative Day is also time for a Captive State of the Industry address, when VCIA and Vermont DFR and DED leaders discuss newly published captive statistics, and more.
"We love the captive insurance industry, and we try to be very helpful. The captive infrastructure here in Vermont has the expertise, speed and responsiveness that us legislators acknowledge, seeing the tremendous value it brings to our state."
