WIL_NEXT_stacked.jpg

Editor's note: This article was updated on March 23 to reflect the new deadline date of April 2.

I'm happy to announce a new approach for Women in Insurance Leadership: NEXT this year. Even though our last program was not long ago, we are getting back on track so that we can celebrate exemplary high-achieving women in the pipeline and bring more visibility to those who are on a path to become the C-suite leaders of tomorrow along with our sister publications here at Arizent.

Women in Insurance Leadership: NEXT is now part of the Arizent NEXT conference, which will take place virtually this year from May 18 to 20. As such, we are now accepting nominations for women under age 40 to be celebrated then.

(Arizent, formerly called SourceMedia, is the parent company of Digital Insurance, as well as our sister publications, PaymentsSource and American Banker, which also have a 2021 NEXT awards program for women in those segments of the financial services industry.)

In case you're wondering : Our Women in Insurance Leadership conference this fall will continue that nearly 20-year-old program, and we will have a NEXT component then as well.

Eligibility

Each applicant will need a nomination supplied by an executive at her company (a mentor or manager of hers) who can speak to her exceptional work and leadership skills.

Only employees of private sector insurance carriers, managing general agents, or agency/brokerages whose activities are primarily focused on personal or commercial property & casualty, life, or health insurance are eligible. Only applicants who work in the U.S. or Canada, OR whose firms are based in the U.S. or Canada, will be considered. Women whose primary employment is at any type of non-carrier, including software vendors, insurtech companies that are operating as vendors and not MGAs or carriers, or professional services firms, are not eligible for this program.

Application Instructions and Links

Only applications submitted through our secure online system will be considered. (Please note that the deadline to apply for the 2021 program is Friday, April 2 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.)

We recommend previewing the application, gathering all material offline first, and then cutting and pasting answers directly into the online form. But partially completed submissions may be saved in the system until ready to submit. More detailed instructions are provided once you begin.
