Meet the board

The Underwriting Professional Community board, volunteer their time because they are passionate and proud of the industry and the people who work in it. It is a great opportunity to give something back to the profession that they love and to the CII who has played an invaluable role in their own careers.

Together with the CII they want to help make a positive difference to the industry and the people in it. They feel grateful for the wealth of experience that they have gained in their different areas and want to be able to share as much as this insight and knowledge as possible.
