With more than four decades of insurance experience under his belt, Elliott Jones has seen a lot of changes in the insurance industry, but none so personally important as the progress of diversity within the insurance community.
The managing director of Aon Risk Solutions' Chicago service center has been a strong supporter of promoting African Americans in the industry. Most notably, he is a founding member of the National African American Insurance Association Chicago Chapter. Recently, Jones, 65, became president of that chapter after serving several years as the vice president.
Jones didn't plan for a career in insurance. He went to Wheaton College on the ROTC program, and served two years as a first lieutenant in the Army. He spent a year in Vietnam and received the Bronze Star and Air Medal for his service.
