WRCIC looks forward to hosting the Industry in Tulsa Oklahoma

The Western Region Captive Insurance Conference (WRCIC) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the Oklahoma Captive Insurance Association (OCIA) has joined the WRCIC. 

Celebrating its 15th year in St. Louis earlier this year WRCIC had record attendance, all exhibit space sold out, the largest multiple track sessions ever offered, and many state regulators on tap to visit with industry professionals and captive owners. This success sets the stage for the 2024 conference to be held April 15-17, 2024, in Tulsa Oklahoma at the Tulsa Club, an historic Hilton property.

The WRCIC Board looks forward to working with the OCIA, which was founded in 2012 and revitalized in 2023. OCIA has worked with the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) to further establish Oklahoma as a trusted authority in the captive industry.

OCIA President Heather McClure said “Oklahoma Commissioner Mulready and the dedicated team at the OID are wholeheartedly devoted to ensuring the success of captives in Oklahoma.  OCIA aligning with WRCIC was a unanimous decision by our Board, and we are joining a premier well-established conference. We believe great things are ahead.”  She went on to say, “With WRCIC’s expertise and our renewed vigor, the 2024 conference should be the best yet; we are excited to host the industry in Tulsa and continue the great work OCIA has been doing for Oklahoma as a premier captive domicile.”

The WRCIC Board welcomed the OCIA to the committee and board as their newest partner and elected an executive leadership team to move WRCIC forward in a flourishing time in history for captives.

The Board unanimously elected Martha Hayes of Larson & Company as Treasurer, John Talley, JD, of TAL Consulting, as Secretary and Renea Louie, ARM, ACI, Fellow of Pro Group Captive Management Services as Chairwoman.
 

Renea Louie shared “We look forward to working with the OCIA Board and members and welcome them to the WRCIC. OCIA has a progressive, flourishing domicile and a strong commitment for the highest and best and that aligns directly with our long standing goals and commitment to the industry. It is WRCIC’s vision to continue to grow the conference to attract additional state domiciles and maintain its popularity and productivity as the premier Captive Insurance Conference in the West serving captive owners, service providers, students, reinsurers, brokers, risk managers and more with direct access and quality time with domicile regulators in the West.”

Louie continued, “Attendees from 39 states attended the sold-out 2023 conference and Tulsa will be a wonderful host.   WRCIC has secured a considerable discounted rate at the host hotel, registration is scheduled to open in early 2024. It is recommended to register and book your hotel, without delay, as the conference is projecting full sold out status.  Please join the mailing list to receive all the conference updates at WRCIConference@gmail.com.  Call for speakers and sponsors will also open in January as well as registration for the golf tournament, always a popular and fun networking event.”
