Elizabeth Demaret, managing director at Itasca, Ill.-based insurance broker Arthur J. Gallagher, has been named chairwoman of the World Federation of Insurance Intermediaries (WFII), an international agent and broker association.

“I'm excited because I think this is a great opportunity to have a voice in what is going on in the insurance market, especially with what is happening in the world today,” Ms. Demaret told National Underwriter.

“Every different supervisory authority reacts to different issues throughout the world differently. We want to make sure the insurance intermediary's voice is heard, but also that we are representing issues that are important to our clients,” said Ms. Demaret.
