Eric Harris has been appointed President of the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA), replacing Tim Wedlock.

Mr Harris, COO of Business Operations at Aon, has served as VP for the past two years, and has been on the NIBA board since 2012.

“I am extremely excited about taking on the role,” he said. “It is a huge privilege.”

Mr Wedlock will remain on the board.

Dianne Phelan, Group Operations Manager at BJS Insurance Group, has been appointed VP. She has held various positions at NIBA, including chairman of the SA divisional committee.

Mr Wedlock also served as NSW division representative on the board, and Rebecca Wilson has been appointed to fill that position. Both hail from the Austbrokers network, as GM Austbrokers ABS and MD Austbrokers AEI respectively.
