Five Underwriting Agencies Council (UAC) member representatives will compete for four vacancies on the board at the annual general meeting in Sydney on December 14.

Seeking re-election are Chairman Lyndon Turner, CEO of NM Insurance; Deputy Chairman Kurt Nilsen, MD of Lion Underwriting; and Company Secretary Peter Fryer, Underwriting Governance Manager at XL Catlin.

The other two candidates are Eric Lowenstein, CEO of Tego Insurance, and Leo Abbruzzo, Dual Australasia’s GM for Australia and New Zealand.

“The willingness of member agencies’ key executives to volunteer for board positions illustrates the importance the agency sector has achieved in the broader industry,” UAC GM William Legge said.
