CPCU Chicago West Suburban Chapter Elects Officers

May 14, 2010

Peter Quirk, a national accounts sales consultant in the Lisle, Ill. office of ISO, has been elected president of the Chicago West Suburban chapter of the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriting Society.

Quirk received his CPCU designation in 2007, and joined the Chicago West Suburban chapter board of directors at that time. He replaces Joseph S. Harrington, director of corporate communications at the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS), who remains on the board as immediate past president.

Succeeding Quirk as vice president is Laurie Pegler, counsel and DLM coordinator for the Property Loss Research Bureau/Liability Insurance Research Bureau, Downers Grove, Ill.

Pegler is a new member of the board, along with Michael Saporito, occupational accident underwriting manager in the Chicago office of Zurich North America. Saporito was elected co-treasurer with responsibility for chapter transactions. He will share the treasurer’s role with previous treasurer Paul Higgins, a consultant in the Chicago office of Ernst & Young, who will continue to have responsibility for tax filings.

Other board members re-elected to their position include chapter secretary Regina Dienberg, an underwriting director in CNA’s warranty and alternative risks department, and three directors:

  • Lee Balcerak, executive director of property/casualty at Chicago-based EIIA;
  • Claudia Gamache, an Allstate agent based in Lockport, Ill.; and
  • William Snow, principal of The Snow Group, Naperville, Ill.
