The sponsorship
Zurich’s sponsorship will support a wide range of iCAN’s ongoing and newly launched initiatives for 2024. The initiatives include our INspire self-serving mentoring platform and iCANConnect, a safe space for D&I leaders across the insurance industry, as well as our iCAN Apply Jobs Board which aims to give more access for our members to opportunities within the insurance industry.
In addition to these three main initiatives, the sponsorship will support the continuation of the Coffee with the CEO series and a range of virtual and in-person events for the 5,000+ members based in the UK and internationally.
Uzma Ahmad-Strathearn, EA Business Oversight Lead said:
“We are proud to support iCAN in their mission to drive multicultural inclusion and progression across the insurance industry, and we are committed to fostering diversity and inclusion within Zurich and the insurance industry.
Rather than placing undue pressure on individuals, we aim to promote a space that encourages open dialogue and understanding. We believe iCAN and Zurich's collaboration will only help to achieve this goal”
