SIIA Forms New ART Committee to Further Strengthen
WASHINGTON, DC (October 27, 2008) – The Self-Insurance Institute of America, Inc. (SIIA) today announced the formation of a new Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) committee. The mission of this volunteer committee is to identify opportunities to create and/or increase membership value for companies involved with ART programs and to assist the association in communicating its membership services to this market niche. It is expected that the majority of the committee’s work will involve assisting the association’s government relations activities related to legislative/regulatory developments affecting the ART marketplace. The committee will be chaired by Kevin Doherty, a Nashville-based partner with Burr & Forman, a regional law firm that provides legal counsel to numerous captive insurance companies and other alternative risk transfer arrangements. Mr. Doherty also serves as president of the Georgia Captive Insurance Association. Additional Committee members include:
In related news, John Jones, president of Moulton Bellingham, PC, has been elected to the association’s board of directors. Based in Billings, Montana, Moulton Bellingham is the leading law firm serving captive insurance companies in the fast-growing Montana domicile. Additionally, as part of its recently announced modernization initiative, the association will roll out a new ART membership section after the first of the year that will allow SIIA to deliver more targeted membership benefits to companies involved in the ART marketplace. Additional membership sections will include Health Care, Workers’ Compensation and International. Membership information can be requested from Jennifer Ivy at jivy@siia.org. SIIA is a non-profit trade association that represents companies involved in the self-insurance/ART industry. Information about the organization is available at www.siia.org. ### |
