St. John’s University’s School of Risk Management (SRM) honored
Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of ACE Limited, as the “2011
Insurance Leader of the Year” before more than 1,600 guests last
night at the 17th Annual Insurance Leader of the Year Award
Dinner.
Held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, the event raised
more than $2.47 million, breaking the previous dinner record of
$2.45 million set in 2008. Proceeds will support the University’s
SRM students and programs.
“I am sincerely honored to be accepting this award,” Greenberg
said in his acceptance speech last night before a throng of his
peers. “It means a lot to me and my family — and, by the way, ours
is the only family to be recognized twice with this honor.” His
father, Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, received Insurance Leader of the
Year accolades in 1998

“The difference we can make in the social and economic
development of countries, businesses and in the lives of individual
people — and the contributions we make to society — are significant
and long-lasting,” Greenberg added. “I love our industry and I love
what we do for a living.”
