CICA to Offer One-Year Free Membership to New ACI Graduates
ICCIE is delighted to partner with the Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) on a new program intended to support the career development and educational needs of captive professionals.
CICA President Dan Towle recently announced that, retroactive to January 2018, all new ACI graduates will get a complimentary one-year membership with CICA. “This will grant them all of our membership benefits, including allowing them to participate in our mentorship program, which can be a key component to career advancement,” Towle said.
“It’s a great fit, and a terrific opportunity for our two organizations to work together,” said ICCIE Executive Director Mitch Cantor. “I have no doubt that our ACIs will see this as a great opportunity to get to know CICA, if they don’t already.”

ICCIE Announces New CE Guidelines
ICCIE is pleased to announce some changes to our continuing education (CE) guidelines for graduates of our Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) designation. The new schematic will make it more convenient and easier for ACIs to earn more credits while attending approved sessions at captive insurance conferences. In addition, a new payment option will allow for a one-time discounted payment on all the CE credits required per three-year renewal window. Here are the main points of the ACI CE guidelines:
- ACIs need to complete 12 ICCIE-approved CE credits per three-year window post graduation (no change);
- There is no longer a limit to CE credits earned from approved conference sessions (new) – previously, only 4 of the 12 credits per renewal window could be earned at conference sessions;
- Seminars at conferences now have an administrative fee of $100 per webinar (new);
- For ACI Alumni Network (AAN) members, all online webinars and live-at-conference CE sessions cost $75 (new — reduced from $90);
- AAN members receive a 50% discount off ONE course per year (new).
- We now have a prepay subscription available (new): ACIs can prepay for their 12 credits in webinars and webcasts for $1,100 (non-refundable). This can be purchased at any time, and the credits may be used over more than one renewal window.
- For AAN members purchasing the prepay subscription, annual dues are reduced to $50 per year (instead of $100) (new).
As always, our goal is to serve the captive industry with quality education at a reasonable price. We look forward to hearing your feedback on the new CE changes.
