Insurance Information Institute in New York said Cary Schneider, senior vice president, has been elected executive vice president by the organization's board of directors.
Robert Hartwig, I.I.I. president, said Mr. Schneider will assume new responsibilities for directing the internal operations of the I.I.I. while continuing to manage its Internet activities, provide support to state insurance associations and supervise the organization's subscriber services division, an in-house public relations agency which provides communications services to other industry groups.
Mr. Schneider was part of a team that in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew created and managed the first Hurricane Insurance Information Center, which served as a model for industry communications efforts in the aftermath of major disasters, including Hurricane Katrina.
Prior to joining the Institute in 1977, Mr. Schneider was assistant news secretary to Illinois Gov. Dan Walker. He also has worked as a reporter and feature writer for Chicago Today and the Peoria Journal Star.
