“In 2013, we launched our first women in insurance leadership event to address gender role disparities in the industry. Now, nearly a decade later, we are proud to host the only industry events providing actionable DE&I insight encompassing all aspects of diverse leadership while benefitting charitable causes throughout the US and UK,” said Elizabeth Myatt, VP, Chief Program Officer of IICF. “This year’s Forums boast renowned, impactful speakers from across the business world and we are thrilled to have another important opportunity to address major industry issues today and empower our colleagues to continue progressing towards a fully inclusive industry.”
IICF’s Inclusion in Insurance leadership events were established as the Women in Insurance Conference Series and are the only such events to benefit nonprofit and charitable organizations through IICF’s Community Grants Program. Grants awarded through the IICF’s Community Grants Program provide direct support in addressing food insecurity, homelessness, educational disparities, disaster relief and preparedness, and helping children at risk, veterans and more. IICF has contributed more than $42 million to communities throughout the US and UK and provided more than 2.6 million meals to vulnerable children since the start of the pandemic.
This year’s events are supported by the leading insurance businesses in the world, with presenting sponsors including Amwins, CNA, EY, Markel, USAA and more than 40 additional insurance businesses.
