National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) chief executive Dallas Booth (pictured) has advised the NIBA board of his intention to retire from the top post before year-end.

“Dallas has indicated to the board that he will remain available to assist the board and the new chief executive officer with the forthcoming 2022 review of general insurance remuneration arrangements, including insurance broker commissions,” said NIBA president Dianne Phelan.

“The board will continue to utilise Dallas’ support and expertise on this and any other projects where his support is likely to be needed.”

Meanwhile the search for Booth’s replacement has commenced.

“The board has been extremely lucky to have had Dallas as our CEO,” added Phelan, “and we thank him for his dedication to representing and acting in the best interest of our members.

“Over the coming months, we invite you to join us in celebrating Dallas’ tremendous contribution to NIBA and the insurance industry as a whole.”   

The chief’s departure later this year completes Booth’s more than a decade of service to NIBA.
