AIA President Shahram Moallemi said, “My presidency of AIA has witnessed some of the most turbulent economic times in recent history, but I have relished the challenges this has created. Due to my heritage and unique background, I feel I bring a wealth of experience to the role. I am focused on adding value and imparting my business knowledge as we seek further accreditation and recognition for AIA members across the world.
 

“Diversity and inclusion are topics close to my heart, and I am proud to be part of such an experienced board, reflecting the members we represent. We value the benefits that different opinions, life experiences and cultures bring to our decision making. Our aim is to further strengthen our diversity and work towards achieving gender equality in line with AIA’s long-term strategy.
 

“I am sure that the pace of change and uncertainty we are currently living with will bring more trials in the future, but we as a resilient organisation I am confident AIA will overcome any challenges with the innovative and positive outlook we have demonstrated to date.”
