Southern Construction recently brought together 126 attendees at the JW Marriott Nashville for its Risk Control Workshop!

Throughout the week, members participated in trade roundtable discussions focused on industry challenges, shared experiences and best practices. Dave Mitchell also joined the group to present “The Power of Understanding People: Hollywood Style.”

The learning continued beyond the workshop with two evenings of live music from local musicians Kaylin Kole and Matt Burke, along with an evening event at Jon Bon Jovi’s Nashville. With guests included, nearly 170 people joined in the evening activities!

Thank you to everyone who helped make it a great week filled with valuable conversations, new ideas and plenty of Nashville fun!

PEAK’s recent Member Meeting brought members and partners together to exchange perspectives, strengthen connections and recognize accomplishments across the group.

The meeting featured insights from team members at trudataRx, FedLogic, QBE, LaForce and Wixon, along with a panel from Arc3. The conversations continued beyond the sessions, with a welcome reception at the hotel and an awards dinner at Lux Bar providing time to connect and celebrate member achievements.

These opportunities to learn from one another and build relationships are an important part of the captive experience.

We’re grateful for the members and partners who share their knowledge, contribute to the conversation and help the group move forward together.

Today, we're celebrating 20 years with Nick Blyth!

For two decades, Nick has helped shape ICS through his leadership, dedication and willingness to take on new challenges. Throughout his career, he has served in a variety of roles, contributed to countless initiatives and continually encouraged himself and those around him to grow.

Nick’s journey is a testament to what can happen when you embrace the uncomfortable, trust the people who see your potential, and move forward BOLDLY.

Congratulations on 20 incredible years, Nick! Thank you for your leadership and the lasting impact you continue to make at ICS.

What does it take to invest like an institution, even as a mid-sized captive?
Scale, structure, and the right leadership at the table.

Since 2005, Strategic Investments SPC has given ICS captive members a smarter way to invest, pooling resources, sharing oversight, and gaining access to opportunities most captives couldn't reach alone. Our approach is built on three pillars:

- Lead: One fund, one board, aligned oversight instead of going it alone.
- Protect: Capital preservation first, consistent performance over full market cycles.
- Compete: Best-in-class managers and structural efficiencies working toward competitive, risk-adjusted returns.

It's a model built on collaboration, not just capital, harnessing scale (over $1 Billion total assets under management) and structure tuned for offshore domiciled captive investors.

Our Employee Benefits team recently welcomed more than 20 top-performing agency partners, including members of C2 Solutions, to Des Moines for two Broker Forum sessions. Built around real challenges and practical strategy, the forums brought sales and service teams together for a closer look at how the ICS model works day to day.

These conversations help strengthen understanding, sharpen strategy, and create better outcomes for everyone involved. Because at ICS, our broker partnerships go deeper than placement. They are built on collaboration, transparency, and shared success.

Another Do Birdies Boldly Golf Outing is officially in the books!

The day was filled with plenty of laughs, great team bonding, incredible shots and a few that are probably better left unmentioned.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the course and helped make the day such a fun one. We are already looking forward to teeing it up again next year!

Until then, keep swinging boldly!

A lot of work goes into creating a great meeting experience, and our Event Management team has been busy making it happen.

Through the first half of 2026, the team has operated 47 meetings, welcomed more than 3,845 attendees, traveled across familiar and brand-new destinations, and continued improving the behind-the-scenes processes that keep events running smoothly.

From board meetings and Risk Control Workshops to member meetings and broker events, we’re grateful for the team members and partners who help make every event possible.

Here’s a look behind the meetings!

Safety culture is only as strong as the communication behind it. For Cedar Valley Steel, that meant addressing one of the most critical gaps in workplace safety: getting employees to speak up and leaders to truly listen.

Through their Speak Up, Listen Up program, Cedar Valley Steel Inc. created a cultural shift that has strengthened trust, increased hazard reporting, and contributed to a roughly 25% reduction in safety incidents across their organization.

This is innovation that goes beyond equipment and processes, reaching the people at the heart of the work. Congratulations to Cedar Valley Steel on winning Four Corners Construction Group, Ltd.'s 2026 Innovator Award!
