Mr. Giuliani, who served as mayor from 1993-2001, gained publicity while in office for fighting crime, revitalizing the city and displaying leadership in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

He will speak on that topic to the Alexandria, Va.-based organization's membership.
Big "I" Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Rusbuldt said Mr. Giuliani "knows what it means to inspire and motivate people in difficult times?in short, how to lead."

Mr. Rusbuldt added that Mr. Giuliani is an expert on risk assessment and management and knows the insurance and financial services industry well.
While serving as U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, Mr. Giuliani's office brought a number of high profile prosecutions against Wall Street executives for insider trading.
The Big "I" Convention will take place at the Hilton New York and will also feature business speakers, panels of insurance industry leaders and workshops.
The meeting also offers Best Practices Management Institute sessions and a Sept 9 Young Agent Sales & Leadership Conference.
