AIA reappoints The Hartford CEO for second term

The American Insurance Association (AIA) has re-elected Christopher Swift as the chairman of its board of directors for the second term. He was first appointed as the chairman in 2016.

Swift is currently the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of property/casualty insurance group The Hartford, which he joined in March 2010 as executive vice president and chief financial officer (CFO). He became the CEO in 2014. He also serves as a member of several boards and committees.

"I congratulate Chris on his unanimous reelection as our Chairman," said Leigh Ann Pusey, president and CEO of AIA. "AIA is fortunate to have his continued support. Chris has brought a tremendous vision and enthusiasm to AIA throughout his tenure as Chairman and we’re pleased that he will be serving another term."

Swift commented: "As we recognize AIA’s 150th anniversary and celebrate the opening of its new DC headquarters, I'm honored to continue serving as chairman.

"AIA has been and remains at the forefront of advocacy for the property/casualty industry at all levels of government. I’m excited to work with my colleagues on the AIA Board and the talented team at AIA in laying the foundation for the next century of accomplishments."
