As we move forward with a new Board, Directors and Committee members I am particularly excited about the future of the Association. We have seen significant changes in the Act and the growth of licenses. We are now approaching 100 captives, the regulations have been expanded and improved and the excitement among Association members is palpable. The Conference Committee is hard at work on a terrific late Spring event back at The Arizona Biltmore Resort, May 6-8, 2008. Put it on your calendar now!

We are closing in on 100 captives being licensed since inception of the program. That is quite a milestone and quite a compliment to all of you that have worked so diligently over the past few years to make Arizona into one of the top 5 domiciles in the US. We have a great deal to offer and a good many things that favorably differentiate us from the other domiciles. I have no doubt that we will continue to grow and continue to be viewed as one of the premier programs in the country.
