Board of Directors

About the NIIC Board of Directors

Because of the tremendous growth of the National Insurance Industry Council (NIIC) campaign over the past 46 years, a new, smaller NIIC l Board leadership structure has been established to manage the long-term health of the insurance industry fundraising effort more efficiently and effectively.
 
This group is comprised of great leaders within the insurance industry who currently serve as advisors to City of Hope, Spirit of Life Gala Committee and Regional Committees. The board's other roles include the selecting of future Spirit of Life® honorees and the recruitment of new board members. Additional members may be added in the future as deemed appropriate by the board.
