The Washington, D.C.-based American Insurance Association (AIA) said it has appointed Christopher J. Swift to serve a one-year term as chairman of its board of directors.

Swift, who is also chairman and CEO of Connecticut-based Hartford Financial Services Group Inc., succeeds Michael S. McGavick, CEO of XL Group plc, who served as chairman during the past year.

"AIA thanks Mike McGavick for his outstanding stewardship over the past year and is thrilled to have Chris Swift serve as our next chairman," said Leigh Ann Pusey, president and CEO of AIA. "Chris's energy, commitment and proven leadership will be a tremendous asset to AIA and our diverse membership. We're grateful to have his and The Hartford's continued support, as well as the support of all our members, as we work to represent the property-casualty industry before all levels of government."
