Program Spotlight WINS: Women in Insurance EMPOWERING TO LEAD & SUCCEED In 2018, Insurors CEO Ashley Gold worked on an idea with Janet Smith of Bailey Special Risks and Christy Jones of Martin & Zerfoss to begin developing events targeted to women in the insurance industry. The idea was born out of discussion on the lack of diverse topics at industry events that focus directly on female career development. Later that year, our inaugural event was held, and the Women in Insurance (WINS) program was launched. Since that time, we've held 8 events across the state, and the turnout and feedback have been outstanding. "This program has done even better than we expected, and is becoming a real benefit to our female members." says Gold, "We have had such great feedback about how valuable the content is as well as how important it is to make connections with other females in this industry."
