The first issue of Insurance News (the magazine) is now in the hands of Australia Post, so subscribers should expect it to arrive in their mailboxes in the next week. This edition features AIG CEO Chris Townsend talking about what he learned from hands-on crisis management. You’ll also meet some Generation X managers with clear ideas about the things that are going to change as the Baby Boomers move into retirement.

What does the arrival of an El Nino weather system mean for Australia and the local industry? How will the emergence of many more players in the motor insurance business affect the established players? What’s going to push rates up? You’ll find the answers alongside legal backgrounders, new products, social pages and a whole lot more.

An unexpected late surge in magazine subscriptions in the past week – well after the deadline! – has led us to arrange a second mailout for tomorrow. If you want to be on our “late list”, use the “Update your subscriber profile” link at the bottom of your email alert, select “Yes” to sign up for the magazine and enter your full postal address details.
