110th Annual Award Luncheon
The Insurance Federation of New York, Inc. cordially invites you to attend its 110th Annual Award Luncheon
Message from
the President
For more than 100 years, the Insurance Federation of New York has been a force for communicating ideas among all sectors of the insurance industry, bringing public and private interests together for the benefit of all. The Insurance Federation of New York’s prestigious Free Enterprise Award—presented to some of history’s legendary entrepreneurs—continues to salute risk takers and leaders whose creativity and initiative has enabled the expansion of business throughout New York, across the country and around the world. In the insurance industry, it is the commitment and vision of these leaders that has created and refined the risk transfer mechanism to spur economic growth and contribute to personal financial security for countless millions. Also, our industry exists to protect the health and welfare of our insureds and those who depend upon them, and we proudly introduced a new award, the Mary Lanning Public Service Award, to recognize outstanding achievement in the public interest.
Today, the Insurance Federation of New York’s annual calendar of events brings together the “best and brightest” to ensure that industry intelligence is shared and that support for best practices in insurance business, law and regulation earns the understanding of leaders across the spectrum. This shared goal draws business executives, legislators and regulators to our Annual Luncheon, our “Breakfast with…” programs, professional seminars, and other events. Our IFNY Interns Summer Program reaches out into the community and gives highly motivated teens from challenging backgrounds an opportunity to learn about the insurance industry in all its facets and consider a career in insurance. Federation members have given generously of their time and finances to support this program. We also note a newer division in the Federation, the IFNY Emerging Leaders. Through its programs younger insurance professionals will have the opportunity to hear from and meet seasoned executives and industry leaders with an eye toward the development of their own careers.
The Insurance Federation of New York is a not-for-profit New York corporation that does not engage in lobbying activities and is open to all.
