Emerging Leaders
IFNY Emerging Leaders is a division of the Insurance Federation of New York (“IFNY”) created to bring together a diverse group of young professionals from all facets of the insurance and reinsurance industries. Our mission is to engage and develop the next generation of young, talented professionals. IFNY chartered the IFNY Emerging Leaders to keep up with the demands of a growing New York insurance market and its changing demographics.
Since 1913, IFNY has been recognized as a premier insurance industry organization for its continued efforts to establish New York as the world’s foremost insurance market while promoting free enterprise and service. This platform provides IFNY Emerging Leaders’ members with extensive resources and unparalleled opportunities to network with and learn from senior company executives, state and federal regulators, key legislators, industry experts and other industry professionals. IFNY Emerging Leaders provides its members with networking events, mentoring opportunities, educational programs and charitable events planned throughout the year. In addition, IFNY Emerging Leaders’ members will have the opportunity to attend events hosted by IFNY, which include recurring “Breakfast With…” programs, the Annual Fall Cocktail Reception and the Annual Award Luncheon.
We welcome all young professionals interested in insurance and reinsurance matters to become involved. Whether you are an insurance or reinsurance company employee, agent, broker, intermediary, regulator or attorney, or simply wish to become active in our industry and further your own career, we welcome anyone who has the desire to be part of our community to join and to take full advantage of all that IFNY Emerging Leaders has to offer.
