We have faced new challenges in both our professional and personal lives as we comply with shelter in place mandates requiring many of us to work remotely. But as Einstein once said, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Join us October 28th for a rich discussion on the difficulties faced and opportunities found while working remotely as part of the captive insurance industry. Our panel will share the many ways that societal shifts have pushed us all to think outside the box. Unique perspectives will be shared from a captive manager, a captive owner, an insurance regulator and a startup founder in artificial intelligence designed for captives. Each will provide insights and changes to their organizations in effort to navigate current socioeconomic and public health conditions. </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Captive programs have always played a valuable role during times of uncertainty.
