“By educating Directors on the fundamentals of how insurers operate and the key financial, regulatory and operational issues that are specific to the industry, we are promoting both enhanced corporate governance and service to consumer through more informed Board oversight.”
NEW YORK – The American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA), and both the Tobin College of Business and the Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science (SRM) of St. John’s University today jointly announced their sponsorship of the “Insurance Director Boot Camp,” an intense three-day program of director education focused on property/casualty insurers. The program will be held in Manhattan from July 19 – 21, 2022.
“Our member CEOs have repeatedly pointed out the need for more high-quality specialized training for directors on the unique aspects and technical issues related to property/casualty insurance,” said David A. Sampson, President, and CEO of APCIA, the industry’s leading trade organization. “By educating directors on the fundamentals of how insurers operate and the key financial, regulatory, and operational issues that are specific to the industry, we are promoting both enhanced corporate governance and service to consumers through more informed board oversight. Our members are very excited about this innovative program.”
The Insurance Director Boot Camp will feature 25 distinct sessions, each consisting of either a presentation or panel discussion from recognized industry experts, many of whom currently serve as directors of property/casualty insurers. Timely topics will be addressed including the adequacy of casualty loss reserves; property catastrophe modeling; understanding regulation; benchmarking operating costs; cybersecurity; and diversity and inclusion.
Mark Browne, Faculty Chair of the Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science at St. John’s University, added, “We are excited about the partnership with the industry trade associations to bring together our world-class professors with respected industry thought leaders and experienced directors. The value of their collaboration will be evident in the program content.”
