AMII Appoints New Chairman
New Chairman and Executive Committee Members announced at AMII's Annual General Meeting
At the Annual General Meeting today of The Association of Medical Insurance Intermediaries (AMII), Andrew Tripp was appointed chairman.
Tripp has been a member of the AMII executive committee since March 2007, most recently serving as AMII's treasurer, and is currently chief executive of Perfect Health. He succeeds Mike Izzard, who has been AMII's chairman for the last two years.
Izzard also steps down from the executive committee having been a member since March 2006, including serving as AMII's secretary and treasurer.
Other AMII changes include the appointment of two new committee members, Lindsey Joseph from LEBC Corporate Healthcare Solutions and Hazel Gregory from Medical Insurance Services; Debbie Kleiner Gaines from Best Health UK has become treasurer; and Paula Aitken from The Private Health Partnership has now taken on the joint role of secretary/membership secretary. In addition, Mike Wagg from Simplyhealth joins the executive committee for a two-year period as the insurer representative.
Wendy Maxwell from Premier Choice Healthcare has stepped down as secretary, Claire Ginnelly from Groupama Healthcare has stepped down from the role of Insurer Representative after completing her two year term, and Wayne Pontin from Jelf Wellbeing Ltd has stepped down as an executive committee member after completing his three-year term of office.
Following his appointment, Tripp said, "AMII continues to evolve and develop and we have some very exciting and challenging times ahead. In particular, we have to bed in the new health insurance examination alongside the CII and ensure our relationships with the insurers, other trade associations and interested parties in the health related insurance sector, continue to progress for the benefit of PMI, our members and their clients.
"AMII also has to a role to play as part of the private health sector as the NHS enters even greater challenging times, which are bound to arise following the general election and future pressures on the public purse. Clean hospitals, minimising killer infections and access to modern drugs, especially cancer ones, are a few issues that come straight to mind."
