We convened the EU Summit thosted by Munich Re in Munich Germany. Juergen Heck is our Program Director in Europe and he gathered a group of organizations that work with us on industry standards. Many ACORD Board members were in attendance as well as our Standards Committee representatives Monique Hesseling, Joan Falcetta and Sandi Perillo. For more information about what we are doing in the EU, please contact jheck@acord.org.
Meanwhile, Francis Chung is our man in Asia Pacific. He attended the Executive Summit in Taiwan recently and spends time in China working with our members. Francis can be reached at fchung@acord.org and he will be pleased to let you know what we are doing.
Today, ACORD is a global organization not only because we have members from all parts of the world but many U.S. members have a global business, interest or relationships in other regions. A good chunk of North American business is connected to the London Market and Roy Laker runs the ACORD operation iat the London Underwriting Center. He can be reached at rlaker@acord.org.
