Iumi appoints new Asia ambassador
The International Union of Marine Insurance (Iumi) hosted the second Iumi Asia Forum in Shanghai (China) and appointed a new additional Asia ambassador to enhance its position in the region.
Agnes Choi, chair of promotion and external relations for the Hong Kong maritime and port board and former Iumi executive committee member, has been selected to take on this role.
Choi's key responsibilities will include close liaison with the Asian markets, advising insurance professionals on Iumi and Iumi policy, providing information about Asian marine insurance to the Iumi executive committee, working with and building Iumi's membership across the region and acting as an Iumi education ambassador.
Asia is a key focus and growth area for Iumi, and the organisation opened its Asia hub in Hong Kong in 2016 to help foster closer cooperation with Iumi's Asian members and the wider maritime industry. (mw)
