The new MDRT Executive Committee took effect this month, while a Kiwi adviser has stepped up to the plate in New Zealand.
Christchurch-based adviser, Brian Burgess, is taking on the role of New Zealand Chair of MDRT. He has worked in the life insurance industry since 1996 and is currently a Director and senior adviser with SwainWoodham Group.
Burgess replaces well-known Auckland adviser and business owner, Katrina Church, who has come to the end of her two-year term as the country’s MDRT Chair.
