President's Message
President, APIW
Dear APIW Members and Corporate Sponsors:
September often represents the winding down of summer vacations, back to school for kids and the start of numerous conferences, events and meetings for our businesses. It is an exciting (and often hectic!) time.
It also means, every two years, that our beloved APIW welcomes in a new Board and gets to work executing on its next fiscal year. With that in mind, I’m absolutely thrilled and honored to be stepping into the President’s role for our next two-year Board cycle. It’s humbling for sure, benefiting from and being witness to an organization which has inspired, given selflessly and provided opportunities with the goal of advancing women and women’s issues at all levels of our industry. As a longstanding member of APIW for most of my career, I’ve seen firsthand that APIW’s success is driven in large part to the ideas, energy and engagement of all of YOU – our members and sponsors.
During recent school visit for our son, we were asked by one of the admissions directors – what are your hopes and dreams for your child? For APIW, my hopes and dreams are that we raise the bar for one another; that we celebrate more women in C-suite, executive and board seats and continue to have urgency to push further until we see the type of equity that is representative of our stakeholders; that we challenge ourselves and others to ‘go for it’, whatever ‘it’ may be; that we encourage those around us to support when we stretch and take risk, equally for woman as it would be for men.

New Zurich scholarship honors 2021 APIW Insurance Woman of the Year Kathleen Savio
Zurich North America is funding a new scholarship aimed at supporting further progress on gender parity in insurance, in collaboration with APIW. The scholarship is named in honor of the APIW’s 2021 Insurance Woman of the Year Kathleen Savio, Chief Transformation and People Officer for Zurich Insurance Group and previous CEO of Zurich North America.
For the next five years, Zurich will provide $5,000 a year and Savio will match that amount to provide $10,000 each year to one female student attending the Katie School of Insurance and Risk Management at Illinois State University, which is Savio’s alma mater. The APIW Zurich Kathleen Savio Scholarship is intended to help improve access to opportunities for women in insurance and risk management professions.
The APIW Zurich Kathleen Savio Scholarship was announced at a May 16 event at Zurich North America’s Schaumburg, Illinois headquarters, celebrating Savio’s recognition as the APIW’s 2021 Insurance Woman of the Year. The honor was officially conferred at a ceremony in New York City in April.
