Helio was a Gold Sponsor as a record number of industry captive owners and service providers from 42 states attended the annual Western Region Captive Insurance Conference, co-chaired this year by Helio’s own Heather McClure. Jesse Olsen’s panel shared expertise and creativity in Captive 101. Heather McClure spoke on the Healthcare Captive panel and also facilitated the Regulator Roundup with seven states’ Captive Directors. Kyle Sweet led a panel on cutting edge developments for Cannabis Captives, and Blake Kerr spoke on the all-star Tax Updates panel. Other highlights: Heather McClure won Women’s Longest Drive in a fun pre-conference golf scramble, and a fantastic cultural event was held for conference-goers at Philbrook Museum of Art with special guests Yancy Red Corn from the movie Killers of the Flower Moon and cultural heritage dancers.
