The Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters (CPCU) Society has appointed 10 new chapter governors who will fulfill a vital liaison role between the society's leaders and the officers of its many chapters. Each of the new appointees will serve for a term of three years. They were chosen by the board upon recommendation of its nominating committee.
