What a year! We are so excited to share our "2025 ICS Wrapped" to celebrate all of our milestones throughout 2025!

We cannot wait to see what 2026 has in store the entire ICS team along with all our Captives, clients, partners, and brokers!

2025 was a year of building — adding talent, evolving how we work, and strengthening the foundation that supports our members and partners. What stands out most isn’t just what we achieved, but how we achieved it: together.

Looking ahead, our 2026 theme is Level Up. It’s a commitment to sharpen ex*****on, strengthen collaboration, and elevate the experience for our members, partners, and team.

ICS President Stephani Manning highlights what it means to pursue progress with purpose and level up in the new year: https://okt.to/rUzkxp.

How are you leveling up in 2026?

In November, Golden Rule, Ltd. celebrated their 25th anniversary at their Fall Board of Director’s Meeting in Costa Rica. Long-time members, as well as many of the original founding members, gathered at The Four Seasons Papagayo in Costa Rica for two days of meetings and celebration.

We are so glad our members could get together to celebrate a huge milestone for their captive!

Happy holidays everyone!

Our team was able to join Impact Re Ltd. at their Board of Directors meeting in beautiful Grand Cayman recently! We are so glad we could close out this year celebrating accomplishments and planning for the future.

Members enjoyed great food, took part in a scuba diving excursion, and were even able to see Kittiwake Shipwreck. What a great visit!

Is your safety strategy connected to your business goals?

A new framework from the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health positions safety, health and wellbeing as core drivers of corporate resilience, performance and competitive advantage — moving safety culture far beyond compliance.

GLP-1 expectations are like a string of holiday lights — tangled fast if you’re not careful. Should employers cover them for weight loss? How do you manage cost without pouring money down the chimney? And should you add it to your personal wish list?

Population Health Manager Hillary Shaw unwraps the evidence behind GLP-1s, why “cost-effective” doesn’t equal “cost-saving,” and how utilization management can keep your budget from turning Grinch-green: https://okt.to/AWisuP.

We're always a fan of the BOLD choice, but the best medicine for a hardening market includes a coordinated strategy that stabilizes costs, improves outcomes, and plans ahead for tomorrow's opportunities. https://okt.to/1StF2U.

Check it out! Some of the members of Valley Indemnity recently attended a Fall Risk Control Workshop in Rosemont, IL hosted by Richards Building Supply (RBS)!

The team visited their Carol Stream, IL location and toured three stops to learn the history of RBS, toured their warehouse and celebrated a great day with dinner at Topgolf that evening!

Their workshop took place the following day with featured speaker Rick Grobart from Focus Management Associates! We look forward to seeing everyone get together again soon!
