The American Insurance Association (AIA) announced that president and CEO Leigh Ann Pusey will be stepping down on June 9 to pursue another career opportunity.

Pusey served as CEO since 2009; since joining AIA 20 years ago, she held several key positions in the organization such as COO, among others. 

“We thank Leigh Ann for the dynamic and energetic leadership she provided during her tenure as president and CEO of the AIA,” said AIA's chairman and The Hartford's chairman & CEO Christopher Swift. “We wish her well as she begins the next phase of her career.”

Ms. Pusey will work closely with AIA senior vice president and general counsel J. Stephen “Stef” Zielezienski and senior vice president for state affairs Joe DiGiovanni during the transitional period. 

“It has been a tremendous privilege to lead AIA for the past eight years,” said Pusey.  “I look forward to watching AIA as it continues to lead our industry's advocacy efforts.”
