Member Update From Rick Mills
Updates from UE’s President and CEO
Jan. 2024
Snow marked the start of 2024 at the United Educators (UE) office, making me, as a Vermonter, feel more at home than ever. I’m grateful for the many opportunities I’ve had over the last five months to connect with members and industry leaders from NBOA, URMIA, brokers, reinsurers, regulators and The Institutes. With your partnership, we’re carefully navigating the challenges of the liability marketplace and the rising cost of claims.
Member-owner governance is a key component of our enduring success as a risk management and insurance company.
A few key updates:
- Our Subscribers’ Advisory Board met in December to discuss our 2023 corporate performance and 2024 strategic planning.
- We’re maintaining limits capacity consistent with 2023, subject to underwriting approval.
- We just published our newest Large Loss Report to help you better understand the evolving liability landscape.
- We distributed Top Risks Reports for independent K-12 schools and higher education institutions detailing the biggest risks our members believe their institutions face.
- Join a live UE in Brief 30-minute webinar on Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 1:30 p.m. EST to discuss our insights on critical risks for education in 2024. Register here.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be traveling coast to coast to see members, meet with our Broker Advisory Committee, and attend APCIA’s CEO Roundtable and other industry events.
I look forward to exploring new ways we can partner with you and support your evolving needs. Thank you for sharing our commitment to the important work sustaining education and helping keep our campus communities safe.
Best,
Rick
Richard Mills
President and CEO
