WHEATON, Ill., Dec. 2, 2004—Two product
development experts with the American Association of Insurance Services
(AAIS) have been promoted to new positions within the organization.
Robert Guevara has been promoted to vice president
for inland marine, and Susan Luecke has been named to the newly created
position of assistant vice president for personal lines.
Guevara has been an assistant vice president with
AAIS for more than 10 years, during which time he has been the principal
developer of the AAIS Inland Marine Guide
and Commercial Output Program. He has
participated in numerous panels and seminars addressing coverage and
regulatory issues, and is a member of the legislative and regulatory
affairs committee of the Inland Marine Underwriters Association.
"Bob is a nationally recognized expert in
inland marine and output products," says Paul Baiocchi, AAIS
president. "The programs he has developed for AAIS have set the
standards for the industry, and are used by some of the largest
companies in the U.S."
Before coming to AAIS in 1992, Guevara worked in
inland marine insurance as an underwriter for Fireman's Fund, a Midwest
regional manager for Royal Insurance, and countrywide manager for CNA.
He left AAIS to manage coverage of fine arts and jewelry for Zurich
American Insurance before returning to AAIS in 1997.
Luecke was director of personal lines for AAIS
before her recent promotion. She joined AAIS in 1992 as a personal lines
product development specialist, and has been the principal developer of
the AAIS Homeowners and
Mobile-Homeowners programs. Before coming to AAIS, Luecke had 17
years' experience in underwriting and marketing with USF&G, The St.
Paul Cos., and an agency.
“Sue’s analysis of changing personal lines
exposures is keeping AAIS products up-to-date with respect to emerging
concerns, such as identity fraud expense coverage and condominium
association deductible coverage,” says Debi Summerlin, vice president
for insurance lines. “Sue has also played a key role in developing
materials for the AAIS response to the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act (TRIA).”
AAIS is a national advisory organization and
statistical agent that develops policy forms and rating information used
by more than 600 property/casualty companies throughout the United
States.
