ANZIIF launches advisory committee
Simon Swanson
The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) has established the ANZIIF Life Insurance and Superannuation Industry Advisory Committee (ALISIAC) to support professional development within the industry.
The committee will also provide advice on industry trends and help maintain relevant life and super award programs held by ANZIIF.
ANZIIF chief executive officer Joan Fitzpatrick said the establishment of ALISIAC was an important part of the institute’s engagement with the life insurance and superannuation markets.
“It is through committees such as this that the institute identifies the needs of specific markets and ensures learning materials are constantly updated to reflect these changes. The institute is very pleased to have the involvement of such a distinguished group of industry leaders across so many sectors of the life and super industry,” she said.
ALISIAC will be chaired by the managing director of CommInsure, Simon Swanson, with Bupa Australia director of financial services John Huijsen acting as deputy chairman.
