From the Inside Flap
For more than a decade, a panel of senior editors at Business Insurance magazine have sat down once a year to vet hundreds of entries from women throughout the commercial insurance, reinsurance, risk management, employee benefits, and related fields to identify the 25 who have had the greatest impact on organizational performance, exercised the most notable influence in the marketplace, and worked the hardest to advance the careers of women in business. These "Women to Watch" have been selected because of their prior achievements and tremendous potential to drive change as part of the 12 percent of women in the workforce who are senior managers and the one percent who are CEOs in the insurance industry. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the award, Words of Wisdom from Women to Watch features the personal stories of 12 past honorees who share how they overcame career challenges to stand out in the commercial insurance industry.
