The 57th International Insurance Society Global Insurance Forum to Feature RGA'S Leaders of Tomorrow Program
Insurance industry's rising stars selected to participate in the 2021 RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program
New York, July 21, 2021
The 57th International Insurance Society (IIS) Global Insurance Forum is taking place virtually on Sept. 27-29, bringing together insurance executives and thought leaders from across the world to discuss how the industry can drive a sustainable global recovery. Through the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program, the Global Insurance Forum will showcase rising stars who are poised to lead the industry into the future.
Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), a leading global life and health reinsurer, is a 2021 Global Insurance Forum Gold partner and the sponsor of the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program. The program is designed to support a leadership trajectory for a select group of insurance professionals in an effort to attract and motivate key talent. Through mentorship from senior executives and access to their cross-sector networks, the program stimulates creative thinking on strategic issues, provides opportunities for deeper engagement across core business functions, and expands global peer connections.
"Developing future leaders is a key focus across the global insurance industry, so it is our responsibility to invest in talent," said Josh Landau, President of IIS. He adds, "recognizing this as a priority for our entire industry, we’re proud to partner with RGA on the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program, which nurtures and distinguishes those who have been identified as the industry’s most promising professionals."
As part of the program, mentees publish and present original papers during a private session at the conference. While all candidates are considered future leaders, one candidate will be selected for the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow Award, and a select group of three candidates will be featured on a panel focusing on “Insights from Future Leaders on Industry Challenges and Opportunities” at the 2021 Global Insurance Forum before an audience of global industry executives.
Beyond the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program, the 2021 Global Insurance Forum will feature 40-plus leading influencers from across the industry who will present their views on the impact of technology and innovation on strategic growth and sustainable development while "Powering Recovery."
