Ms. Pusey has been elected to serve on the Federation's Executive Committee as its Membership chairperson. In addition, AIA will continue to chair the ComFrame Working Group, part of GFIA. The Federation's inaugural meeting was held earlier today in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Pusey's statement follows:
"AIA strongly supported the creation of GFIA. Just as international regulators coalesced in 1994 to create the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, the global insurance industry has now formally organized itself as a Federation to provide a united voice on the ever increasing regulatory issues affecting our sector.
"While AIA will continue to advocate on behalf of its members in the U.S. and abroad, through GFIA, the industry's voice is significantly strengthened.
"AIA looks forward to working with GFIA's leadership and diverse international membership to promote effective and efficient global insurance regulatory systems that support vibrant and competitive private insurance markets."
