Fall Connections: CIAB Conference

Last week, Mike Miller, Charles Brindamour and several members of our senior leadership team joined 1,200 industry colleagues at the annual Insurance Leadership Forum hosted by the CIAB (Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers). This “who’s who” of our industry, which has been hosted for over 100 years, brings together broker, carrier and reinsurance representatives from around the world for four days in Colorado Springs. Like many industry conferences, there are notable keynote speakers, but most of our time is spent meeting one-on-one with our key partners.

This year, most of our top brokers were in attendance resulting in nearly 30 broker meetings and an evening reception. The discussion takeaways are being prioritized in order to leverage the good momentum as we wrap-up 2019 and prepare for 2020.

SVP Jeff Richardson and EVP Paul Brehm were among the OneBeacon leaders networking with conference participants at our hosted reception.

The event was special for many reasons, but especially because our colleague Sara Farren’s daughter Keira was recognized during the event as one of the recipients of the MIAS college scholarship.
