Group captive members are expected to actively participate in the governance and success of the captive. All members are expected to attend the annual board meeting unless exceptional circumstances prevent it. Members also contribute through committee involvement, with groups focused on Audit & Finance, Membership & Underwriting, and Risk. Participation in at least one committee is encouraged, and members are urged to serve on both the Audit & Finance and Risk committees over time to gain a deeper understanding of the captive’s operations. New members can observe committee meetings before choosing where to serve. In late spring, members are also expected to send representation to the annual Best Practice Workshop, which promotes the exchange of effective loss control strategies.
