For the fifth year, Insurance Business Canada's Elite Women report will spotlight the remarkable women driving change and inspiring the future of the insurance industry.

We’re on the lookout for trailblazers who have set new standards and made a significant impact over the past 12 months.

The Elite Women will be selected with the assistance of an independent advisory panel from the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO), ISC Group Advisory Board Member, Canadian Association of Managing General Agents (CAMGA), Canadian Association of Black Insurance Professionals, and Canadian Association of Insurance Women, and featured on the website in March 2025.

Entries close Friday, October 4.
