MOBILE, Ala. - The American Equity Underwriters, Inc. (AEU), the leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance for waterfront employers, welcomed new members to the ALMA Member Advisory Council earlier this month in Point Clear, Ala., during the Council’s annual meeting.
The ALMA Member Advisory Council brings together experienced leaders from across the waterfront industry to provide feedback on AEU’s claims handling, loss control, underwriting, and member resources. Their perspectives help shape continuous improvement and ensure AEU’s strategies and programs remain aligned with the evolving needs of ALMA members and the day-to-day realities of modern maritime operations.
“The value of this Council is that it keeps us close to the people we serve,” said Adele Hapworth, Chief Executive Officer of AEU. “When experienced waterfront leaders share what they are seeing in their operations, it gives us a clearer view of where our work is making a difference and where we need to keep improving. That kind of insight helps us serve our members as more than a workers’ compensation provider. It allows us to be a stronger partner in helping their businesses succeed and grow.”
