DARE Programme

In 2020, with the support of the LMA Board, LMADAC launched the DARE (Delegated Authority Reimagined) initiative to re-imagine the future of delegated authority. Following the successful delivery of the DARE end-to-end vision and its alignment with the Future at Lloyd’s programme, the committee is now progressing Phase 2 to implement key components of that vision.
