The Chamber Program History
Before 1992 ConnectiCare was primarily an HMO alternative for the greater Hartford area. Gus Gamache, the former CEO of ConnectiCare, had a vision to differentiate the firm from other carriers by expanding and providing access to a comprehensive portfolio of healthcare for the small business.
Stephen Glick the co-founder and administrator of the Chamber Insurance Trust (CIT), shared a similar vision. He looked to use the combined buying power of the members of the Chambers of Commerce to create affordable benefit options for the small business.
ConnectiCare came to the forefront wanting to support this venture. With prudence and perseverance a three legged stool between the Chambers of Commerce, Chamber Insurance Trust and ConnectiCare was founded with a handshake and a common vision.
Under this umbrella, ConnectiCare and the Chamber Insurance Trust launched the first Chamber of Commerce small business portfolio, and in response hundreds of businesses purchased quality and affordable benefits. Today, the Chamber Program continues to prosper under Steven Glick and the current ConnectiCare President and CEO, Michael Wise. The Chamber executives in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts help the small business community access affordable healthcare.
