The Thornhill, Ont.-based Canadian Life Insurance EDI Standards (CLIEDIS), the life insurance industry’s not-for-profit organization responsible for advancing electronic data exchange, announced on Thursday that it has added two new members — Mike Lewis and Heather Saxon — to its executive committee.
Lewis, vice president of strategic initiatives, individual insurance, with Canada Life/London Life, replaces Darlys Corbitt, who was named as the association’s new executive director in early October, as Canada Life’s representative on the executive committee. And Saxon, IS director, information services, retail markets with Toronto-based Manulife Financial Corp., replaces Alan Bett as Manulife’s representative.

Bett, who joined CLIEDIS’ executive committee in April 2013 and took on the role of co-chairman in June 2014, stepped down due to a change in his role at Manulife. He will now serve in the roles as assistant vice president of business transformation with John Hancock Insurance.
With Bett’s resignation from the CLIEDIS executive committee, Dennis Craig has agreed to take on the role of co-chairman for the remainder of the term. Craig has served on CLIEDIS’ executive committee since 2006 and has acted as co-chairman previously.
CLIEDIS’ executive committee is made up of executives from the Canadian life and health insurance industry and is responsible for the governance of CLIEDIS. It ensures CLIEDIS drives and supports electronic data exchange through the promotion of the benefits of adopting industry standardsthat support industry priorities.
