Seabury & Smith Adopts Marsh Name

On January 1, 2002 Seabury & Smith, the Indiana University Alumni Association insurance program administrator is adopting a new name. The Affinity Group Services practice will add the name of its parent organization Marsh to its name this year. Plan participants will receive a notice from the company and correspondence will begin bearing the Marsh name.

Seabury & Smith has been part of the Marsh & McLennan Companies now for quite a while. One of the MMC companies, Marsh is the world's leading risk and insurance services firm.

"We are proudly adopting the Marsh name," observed Kirke Dorweiler, chairman and CEO of the Affinity and Private Client Practices division of Marsh. "We now have even more resources to help our clients develop and deliver the benefits programs they offer their members. Our clients are particularly interested in more efficient and effective marketing capabilities for their member programs, as well as a continuous enhancement of quality service. We are leading the development and application of exciting new technologies, and our customers will see more capabilities being delivered electronically in 2002."

"Only our name is changing, " added Dorweiler. "The same people are answering the telephones and providing the quality service that our customers have known over the years. We continue to operate from our locations in West Des Moines, Chicago, and Washington, D.C." He assures all plan participants that the company's telephone numbers, addresses, and all contacts remain the same.
