Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. said today that its board of directors has decided that board members will serve one-year terms and stand for re-election each year.

The decision replaces the current structure where board members serve up to three years before re-election. Current board members will stand for annual elections as their existing three-year terms expire.

MMC, a New York-based services company that is parent company of insurance broker Marsh and reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter, said it would include in its 2008 proxy statement a company-proposed charter amendment affecting the change.
