edRISK’s senior leadership team is also at the helm of its three programs: edHEALTH, edLIABILITY, and edPROPERTY. Together with our member-owner schools and the boards of managers, Tracy and David ensure that member-owner schools’ insurance needs are met while saving them money and offering greater overall value―simultaneously strategically strengthening the edRISK captive.
Tracy Hassett, SPHR, is the President and CEO of edRISK and its three cells or programs: edHEALTH, edLIABILITY, and edPROPERTY. Tracy has played an instrumental role in the creation of edHEALTH, joining with the Boston Consortium higher education finance executives who were looking for a solution to the escalating healthcare cost crisis, and is a driving force behind edRISK and its two newest cells, edLIABILITY and edPROPERTY.
Passionate about finding innovative ways to bend the healthcare cost curve, which edHEALTH has done for ten-plus years, Tracy has broadened the scope of what captive insurance can do in other lines of insurance to benefit educational institutions across the country. Tracy reports to the Boards of Directors and is responsible for the overall performance of edRISK and its three cells.
