“The WII Insurance Grant has provided me with an invaluable opportunity for both networking within the insurance industry itself and personal development on a broader level.
Throughout my time as a Grant recipient, I have been able to establish great connections and friendships with the incredible ladies of the Committee, as well as participate in invaluable mentorship sessions providing guidance and knowledge through both a legal and overall industry lens. The $1,000 financial support provided through the Grant has enabled me to invest in skills development and learning, strengthening my confidence and advancing my career aspirations.
I wholeheartedly encourage any women new to the insurance industry to apply and take
full advantage of this incredible opportunity.”

“Being part of the Women in Insurance Grant has been a significant step in building both my
skills and professional network within the industry.
The mentoring sessions have offered valuable guidance on planning my career, strengthening my business development skills, and working toward leadership roles. I also had the opportunity to attend a professional development workshop through the Grant, which has contributed to the overall experience.
Participating in the WII events has been both valuable and enjoyable — providing opportunities to meet new people, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.
Throughout this journey, I have felt genuinely supported, which has given me the confidence to keep pursuing my goals. This experience has been a key part of my growth as I continue to build my career in the insurance industry.”
“The mentoring sessions really helped me approach my career goals in a much more structured way. Every session brought great guidance with tools and strategies, from professional development, networking, down to the everyday. Being able to talk to someone with great experience in the industry and relating to the challenges and the scenarios, while looking from the outside in, was invaluable. On a personal level, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, both on a professional and personal level. And of course, the events are great fun!”
“I’m making lasting connections. Every event and networking opportunity has been a terrific experience. The mentorship is a key part of the Grant, and something I came to value deeply. It has allowed me to work towards my goals, discuss my concerns, and feel supported in my decision-making, taking the advice and putting it in place. A truly safe and encouraging place. Being able to draw on my mentors’ experience has helped me take positive steps in my personal and professional life.”
