Aon Risk Solutions is pleased to announce that Elliott Jones, managing director of the firm’s Chicago service center, has been appointed president of the National African American Insurance Association Chicago Chapter.
Jones most recently served as vice president for NAAIA Chicago for several years. He quickly earned recognition as a collaborative and effective leader, whose efforts built and strengthened the organization’s partnerships with its sponsors. Jones was also relied upon as a strong advocate for initiatives that furthered the message of diversity in the insurance industry.
“Aon would like to congratulate Elliott on his new leadership role within the NAAIA. His accomplishments are a testament to his passion for the profession as well as Aon’s continued dedication to ensuring that diversity is valued throughout the industry,” said Joe Propati, chief operating officer for Aon Risk Solutions U.S. Retail. “No doubt the exceptional leadership skills Elliott developed at Aon will be an asset to the chapter and its continued success.”
Jones will serve as president through 2013. He was also named Who’s Who in Black Chicago in 2006 and 2007.
“For many years, Elliott has been an outstanding partner and supporter of NAAIA,” said Margaret Redd, immediate past president of NAAIA Chicago. “He has made significant contributions as vice president, and I have no doubt that he will continue to draw upon his expertise, experience and commitment to move the organization forward.”
