Join us for an inspiring and dynamic panel celebrating trailblazing women who have shattered barriers and redefined success in male-dominated industries. These leaders have not only broken through the glass ceiling—they’ve built new ceilings for others to rise toward. Review the speaker biographies.
This event will spotlight their journeys, triumphs, and the resilience that propelled them forward. From tech to trades, boardrooms to battlefields, hear firsthand how these women navigated challenges, claimed their space, and continue to thrive.
Yet the path to equity is not without its hurdles. One of the most persistent challenges is pay disparity. While the average woman earns just 81 cents for every dollar earned by her male counterpart, the gap is even more pronounced in the insurance industry—where women make only 61 cents to every dollar earned by men. This stark difference underscores the need for ongoing advocacy and actionable change.
But breaking barriers isn’t a solo act. We’ll also explore the power of allyship—how colleagues, mentors, and advocates can amplify impact and foster inclusive environments where everyone can rise.
Whether you're a professional seeking inspiration, an ally looking to deepen your support, or simply passionate about equity and empowerment, this panel promises bold stories, honest dialogue, and actionable insights.
