Inland Marine Underwriters Association (IMUA) announced yesterday the establishment of its first international Regional Advisory Committee; this committee will be based in Toronto.
“We are extremely pleased to announce our tenth Regional Advisory Committee and our first international one,” said IMUA president and CEO Kevin O’Brien. “Toronto is a hub for the Canadian insurance P&C industry with many interested underwriters and brokers that fit the IMUA business model. That is to provide education and a forum for issues which are of common concern to companies doing inland marine insurance business and associate members involved with the industry. I also look forward to working closely with Sam, our newest Committee Chair, in the days ahead.”
