Today we stand at the doorstop leading to a different world where technology continues to intertwine into insurance and our professional lives while creating uncertainties that know no bounds. As we stand here, looking at this new future, we need to remember that collaboration and learning with our peers can help shape our strategies on how our thinking, goals, and professional development will occur moving forward. As always, it is our cooperation and connections that can make the insurance marketplace more agile to address these known and unknown challenges.
