The Medical Professional Liability Association announced today that its board of directors has appointed Eric Anderson as president and chief executive officer, effective immediately. The MPL Association is the leading trade group representing the medical professional liability insurance sector.

Anderson has served as interim president and CEO since March 2024 while continuing in his role as vice president of strategy and operations, a position he has held since early 2022. He previously spent 13 years leading the Association’s communications, public relations and marketing functions and also served as treasurer. His broader industry experience includes three years as vice president of communications and customer experience for NORCAL Group and 13 years with NCRIC Group in marketing, investor relations and corporate communications roles.

“Eric is well suited and well prepared to lead the Association,” said MPL Association Board chair J. Michael Conerly, MD, president and CEO of LAMMICO. “I am confident that the Association will continue to prosper under Eric’s guidance. We have a strong foundation and history of success, and with Eric at the helm, we will embrace new opportunities, meet challenges head-on and adjust to the ever-changing medical liability environment.”

“I’m honored and thrilled to serve the MPL Association as president and CEO,” Anderson said. “Our members and partners are the backbone of this organization, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of their unwavering support of the Association and its mission. I’m very excited about the future of the MPL Association and its ability to meet the evolving needs of those entities that protect the delivery of healthcare.”

Anderson added that he intends to build on the work of previous leaders. “We will use our past successes as a springboard as we assess and redefine the Association for the future,” he said.
