“Aon is an influential voice in the market, and Tracy-Lee\u2019s role as CEO of Aon\u2019s Global Broking Centre will bring a truly global perspective to the board and LIIBA.<\/p>\n

\u201cTracy-Lee has a deep understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities faced by brokers \u2013 both large and small \u2013 and will be a real asset to the association over the coming years, particularly as we enter more uncertain market conditions.<\/p>
