The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) announces the appointment of LoriAnn V. Lowery-Biggers as Chief Executive Officer.
Lowery-Biggers has more than 30 years of experience and previously served as president of Lloyd’s of North America and held executive leadership positions at The Navigators Group, Inc., Wells Fargo Insurance, Inc. and Marsh McLennan Companies, Inc.
She succeeds Bill Ross as IICF CEO, who will spend the coming months working with IICF staff and executive team to develop a multi-year strategy.
As CEO, Lowery-Biggers will be responsible for overseeing the overall operations and strategic direction of IICF and reporting to the IICF Board of Governors. Lowery-Biggers serves as a non-executive director on the boards of BMS Investment Holding Company, Brown & Riding Insurance, Inc., CompRe Insurance Group Holdings Limited and Copper Point Mutual Insurance Holding Company.
“This is an important time for insurance and giving back to society. IICF’s uniqueness as a foundation that unites the industry through philanthropic impact is compelling and provides many creative opportunities,” said Lowery-Biggers. “I believe it is time for IICF to build on the foundation’s three decades of excellence and carry it forward through a rigorous, evolving strategy that inspires our stakeholders and strengthens the communities we serve.”
IICF serves the community through four divisions located in the United States and two international divisions. Since its founding in 1994, IICF has awarded more than $55 million in IICF community grants and contributed a total of $68 million in community impact.
IICF awards grants to nonprofit partners that support a range of focus areas, including children at risk, housing and food insecurity, health and human services, veterans, social mobility, environment, disaster preparedness and relief, and more. Through its foundation-wide IICF Child Hunger Relief campaign, millions of meals have been provided to vulnerable children in underserved communities.
