The national community for self-insured group administrators
Where administrators come for solutions.
In January 2027 we are launching the first national community built specifically for the people accountable for a self-insured group — administrators, the successors preparing to take over from them, trustees and board members, and the TPAs and specialists who serve these programs closely enough to understand them.
No cost · One hour · Online · No obligation
Built on experience
Fifty years in insurance, thirty focused on workers' compensation, and twenty-four leading one of the country's most successful self-insured groups.
Three decades of executive leadership development, succession planning, and board development — now built into tools SIG leaders can actually use.
The reality of the role
The work is consequential.
The role can be isolating.
Leading a self-insured group is an unusually demanding job. The decisions are complex, the stakes are significant, and there are relatively few people outside the SIG world who fully understand the responsibility.
Responsibility
The stakes are significant.
Every major decision touches members, injured workers, employers, regulators, and the long-term health of the group.
Complexity
The decisions cross disciplines.
Underwriting, claims, actuarial science, investments, safety, governance, and leadership — often in the same week, often without a specialist on staff.
Isolation
Practical peer support is scarce.
The right experience can be hard to find at the moment you need it. Another administrator may have already solved your problem — there has never been an easy way to find them.
The opportunity
A national profession deserves a national community
Nobody is starting from nothing. What is missing is a way to reach the person who has already solved the problem in front of you — across a state line, a generation, or a programme you have never heard of.

What SIG National will become
The vision reaches well beyond networking
SIG National is not another industry event or another source of updates. It is a permanent national resource, built in five parts.
A national network
SIG leaders and operators connected across states, programs, and generations.
The expertise already exists. It is distributed across states, programs, generations, and individual relationships. SIG National connects that experience so every administrator can learn faster, decide with greater confidence, and build for the long term.
A practical body of knowledge
A complete, working reference on how to build and run a self-insured group.
Not theory and not another newsletter. Decisions, tools, benchmarks, and repeatable practices captured from operators who have already solved the problem in front of you.
Vetted partners
An ecosystem a member can rely on, built one relationship at a time.
Technology, investments, claims, governance, and leadership partners — personally vetted, so members can find the right expertise with less noise and less risk.
A succession system
A structured, do-it-yourself way to capture, transfer, and renew what one leader knows.
Too much institutional knowledge lives in one person's memory and relationships. SIG National gives administrators a practical way to design continuity before it becomes urgent.
A unified voice
Shared experience turned into constructive influence on the regulatory environment.
Compare patterns across states, surface issues early, and inform better regulation with evidence from the people who operate these programs every day.
Built for the long term, not reassembled every year.

Trusted relationships
Connections with peers, successors, and specialists that deepen across years, not conference weekends.
“When I became Administrator of CAMComp in 2016, I knew I needed someone with strong industry experience who I could trust and learn from, and Stu was that person. Since then, he has been an invaluable mentor, generously sharing his time, knowledge, and experience and connecting me with other successful group administrators across the country.”
“What has meant the most to me is Stu's belief in me and his genuine desire to see others succeed. His mentorship has played an important role in my growth as a leader and in helping shape CAMComp into the program it is today. I am honored to continue working with Stu and grateful for the impact he has had on me, both personally and professionally.”
