Siliato Named IDMA President-Elect

The Insurance Data Management Association has selected its next president, and also recognized the contributions of others working in the field.

Aimee Siliato, director of government relations and data management for the Insurance Services Office, has been voted president-elect of the IDMA. Ms. Siliato will assume the position in April 2007.

In addition, several members were recognized for their work in the field of data management. Peter Marotta, principal consultant of data management at ISO, was named as the first recipient of the Gary W. Knoble Service Award. The award, established in 2005, recognizes IDMA members for “significant volunteer contributions” to the data management profession.

IDMA is a nonprofit association focused on insurance data management, paying special attention to professionalism through education. The group works by establishing educational curricula, holding forums and publishing white papers on various issues, and through cooperative activities with other societies.

Other ISO staffers being distinguished were executive vice president Carole Banfield, assistant vice president Art Cadorine and Peter Marotta–all named fellows in Insurance Data Management.

This was the first year for a new non-academic designation instituted by the association. Future recipients of the honor will be named annually on the recommendation of the IDMA Committee on Professionalism, according to the association.
