According to a Press release, the induction of the new directors took place during CIWA’s recent board meeting on January 21, with the official unveiling occurring at the prestigious CIWA Annual Meeting held on January 22 in Indian Wells, CA. Elected members are slated to serve two-year terms on the board.
The following individuals have been appointed as new directors:

John Donahue, president of CIWA, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the new additions.
“I am delighted to welcome our four new board members for the 2024/25 term,” he said. “Their varied expertise and commitment to our mission will undoubtedly strengthen CIWA’s impact within the California E&S insurance landscape.” Donahue also extended gratitude to departing board member Emil Moskowitz, acknowledging his “exceptional leadership” spanning 15 years, describing his tenure as having left an “indelible mark on CIWA’s legacy.”
