Published on June 8, 2026

CCRIF SPC announced the appointment of Mrs. Saundra Bailey as Chair of its Board of Directors, effective 1 June 2026.

Mrs. Bailey, who up until recently served as Deputy Chair of the Board and currently chairs the CCRIF’s Central America Management Committee, succeeds Mr. Timothy N. J. Antoine, after nearly eight years of distinguished service as Chair.

Mrs. Bailey brings a unique perspective to the role, having contributed to the pioneering work that informed the development of parametric insurance in the Caribbean and ultimately led to the establishment of CCRIF.

Today, CCRIF serves 39 members across the Caribbean and Central America, including governments, water utilities, electric utilities and other public entities, providing innovative financial protection against natural hazards and climate-related risks.

Her appointment comes at an important juncture as CCRIF advances the implementation of its Strategic Plan 2025–2030, an ambitious roadmap designed to expand coverage, deepen impact and strengthen resilience across the region.
