West Windsor, NJ (April 6, 2010) – Princeton Insurance Vice President of Underwriting and Marketing/Communications Lois Hogya has assumed a seat on the board for The Insurance Society of Philadelphia as a result of a recent vote among its 30 existing board members. The society, founded in 1901, is dedicated to education and professional development within insurance, risk management, financial services and other related industries.

Hogya said she is humbled by the invitation to join the board but also eager to begin working with the society on its educational efforts.
“I am honored to be a part of this prestigious organization and have always admired the work they do in promoting education within this important industry,” said Hogya, who began her insurance career in 1979 and has been with Princeton Insurance for 23 years. “I am particularly enthusiastic about their plans to encourage young people to consider the many insurance-related career paths available to them.”
President of the society David Arnold said that it’s not only the impact Hogya has made both at Princeton Insurance and within the industry, but also the commitment Princeton Insurance has demonstrated to the healthcare community that made Hogya an ideal candidate.
“Princeton Insurance brings a strong business and relationship presence in the central New Jersey insurance market as well as a dominant position in the important healthcare sector,” said Arnold. “Lois has been an influential leader at Princeton Insurance and has great ideas for how the Insurance Society of Philadelphia can partner with Princeton Insurance and their clients and staff.”
Princeton Insurance President and CEO Charlie Lefevre said the passion and values Hogya brings to her position at Princeton Insurance align perfectly with the society’s mission.
“We’re very proud to see Lois elected to the board. It’s an especially good fit, given her considerable experience coupled with a strong commitment to education and lifelong learning.”
Hogya’s first experience as a board member will come on June 18th at the society’s next board meeting.
