PHILIPSBURG--St. Maarten Insurance Brokers Association (SIBA) has elected Dwayne Elgin to lead its new board that was installed after elections held on September 15.
Elgin succeeds Neil Henderson who has led the organisation for more than 15 years. The newly-elected board includes Vice President Mano van der Camp, Treasurer Richard Boyd (also a past president), Secretary Barbara Pompier and Board Member Tirdeo “Joshua” Dharamraj.
SIBA, from its inception, has been championing the rights of insurance customers by influencing legislation to regulate the conduct of financial institutions operating in the industry whilst ensuring that its own members uphold the highest ethical and professional standards in serving customers, the new board said in a press statement on Sunday evening.
“There are several issues currently affecting the insurance industry and the interest of customers. SIBA intends to immediately engage insurance companies to tackle the increasing cost of health insurance and accessibility to the coverage especially in the light of COVID-19 and its devastating impact on the economy and our customers.
“The new board also intends to continue working in the best interest of our clients and the community in general through purposeful engagement with insurance companies, government, Parliament, the Central Bank of Curaçao and St. Maarten, and other stakeholders,” it was stated in the release.
