Thank you!

We built it and you came! We are grateful to these women for showing up for us and each other. Thank you for making our first ever Women in Insurance Conference a success!

Success, to us, meant a room full of engaged conversations, new connections, shared experiences, and women who left feeling energized, supported, and inspired to keep growing in this industry.

Special thanks to our sponsors: Arlington/Roe and EMC Insurance Companies. Your support means the world to us.

Thank you to our amazing speakers, Meg McKeen and Bonnie K. Weise.

We’re already looking forward to what’s next.
