The Strategic Insurance Agency Alliance (SIAA) hosted its 30th Semi-Annual Business Meeting 2010 Oct.6th-8th at the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel in Boston, Mass.

SIAA also held its 15th anniversary celebration reception at the Boston Long Wharf Hotel with over 400 attendees, of which 122 were senior staff of major insurance companies – including 14 CEOs. The centerpiece was a production illustrating the evolution of SIAA since 1995. Guest speakers were Greg Toczydlowski, president of personal insurance for Travelers, Clyde Fitch, senior vice president, State Auto and Roger Jean, former EVP of Liberty Mutual and CEO Liberty Mutual Regional Agency Market Cos.

"Our core values have been consistent since our launch in 1995: strong relationships, loyalty and commitment to our strategic partners. Our record setting new business premium, projected at over $300 million for 2010, despite the current economic climate, demonstrates that we have created something special here. Our record new member agency appointments of 450 projected for 2010 is further proof that we have converted obstacles to opportunities," according to Jim Masiello, chairman and CEO of SIAA.
