Samuel and Josephine Plumeri Student Leadership Program

“The insurance industry is a positive force that helps protect individuals and businesses—and is crucial to everything that happens in the world.  As issues such as global warming, cyber risk, product liability and shareholder activism—to name just a few—intensify, the need for what we do will only become more important. I want to instill in today’s risk management and insurance students, our next generation of leaders, an intense feeling of pride and a burning desire to build upon the industry’s already admirable legacy.”

-- Joe Plumeri, Chairman and CEO, Willis Group Holdings Limited
