Welcome to #VCIA2025
Dear VCIA Conference Attendees:
Welcome to the 40th Annual Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) Conference. It’s an honor to be your host here in our beautiful state. Vermont takes great pride in the legacy VCIA has built over the past four decades, and this milestone is a testament to the strength and resilience of the captive industry. Bringing industry leaders together to learn, innovate, and collaborate remains as important today as it was at the very first conference.
This past year has been another period of strong growth for Vermont’s captive sector, a success made possible through the dedication of our industry partners and the continued collaboration with state government. I want to express my appreciation to VCIA President Kevin Mead, along with the entire VCIA staff and board, for their tireless efforts in organizing this event and fostering an environment that encourages dialogue and knowledge-sharing. Congratulations to VCIA on reaching this remarkable anniversary and for once again showcasing Vermont’s leadership in the captive insurance industry.
Vermont remains the global leader in captive insurance, setting the gold standard for quality regulation, expertise, and accessibility. I’m proud that our state continues to provide a strong foundation and the resources necessary for captives to succeed and grow.
Thank you for choosing Vermont as your partner in this important work. I encourage you to take full advantage of the many opportunities the 2025 VCIA Conference offers to connect, learn, and collaborate.
Sincerely,
Philip B. Scott
Governor
Dear VCIA Participants,
Congratulations on Vermont Captive Insurance Association's 40th Annual Conference. Over the last 40 years, Vermont has proven itself to be a consistent leader in the captive insurance industry.
I am proud to have played a legislative role in authorizing this industry in 1981 and am impressed by what you have done to make Vermont the number one leader in captive insurance domiciles globally. This industry is an important part of Vermont's economy, and I commend you all for continuing to advance this field in our great state. I wish you 40 more years of continued success.
Sincerely,
Peter Welch

Wait . . . What on Earth is Captive Insurance?
A captive insurance company is a wholly owned subsidiary created to provide insurance to its non-insurance parent company or companies. It usually relies on its service providers, like captive managers, lawyers, accountants and financial investors, to help establish and operate the captive. Captives are regulated by specific states called domiciles.
