The Geneva Association is pleased to announce the elections of three new Board members:

* Michel Khalaf, President and CEO, MetLife

Charles Brindamour, Chairman of The Geneva Association, said: "I would like to welcome Michel Khalaf, Anna Manning and John Neal to the Geneva Association Board of Directors. I look forward to working with them to address the challenges before our industry and advance The Geneva Association's important mission to promote insurance as a force for good."

Michel Khalaf commented: "What we do as an industry forms a vital part of the social safety net and provides financial security for people across the world.

Anna Manning joined RGA in 2007, became President in 2015 and the CEO in 2017. She has been a Geneva Association member since 2017.

I look forward to helping guide the organisation's ambitious research agenda on global risks, so that we can really impact society." John Neal was appointed the CEO of Lloyd's of London in October 2018 and has been a Geneva Association member since 2013.
