President's Message

Dawnmarie Black
President, APIW

Dear APIW Members and Corporate Sponsors:

As I step into the role of President of The Association of Professional Insurance Women, I am filled with immense pride and excitement for the journey ahead. Our organization has always been a beacon of excellence, fostering professional growth, and empowering women in the insurance industry.

Growth is the lifeblood of any thriving organization. For APIW, expanding our networks and our corporate membership is not just about increasing our numbers; it is about enriching our community with diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and unparalleled expertise. We have a unique opportunity to extend our reach, influence, and impact within the industry. By fostering growth, we ensure that our mission of empowering women and promoting excellence in the insurance profession continues to resonate and inspire.

We could not do this without our exceptional board of highly committed insurance professionals and without the support of our Executive Director, Sue Barros. It is under this leadership that we will continue to strengthen our association with a maintained focus on the four pillars of our mission: Learning & Development, Connectivity & Mentorship, DEI&B Leadership, and Giving Back.

APIW also continues to enhance our partnership with other associations. When we work together to lift one another up, we strengthen the entire industry.
