9:00 - 10:00 a.m. Women in Leadership - Closing the Gap One Rung at a Time

Julie Webb, founder of JMW Collective and prior insurance industry professional

The insurance industry is female-dominated. That's right! 59% of professionals in the sector are women. But the real gap isn't in the workforce; it's in the leadership. Only 22% of C-suite positions are held by women. Why does this matter? Because it's a business imperative. Companies with gender-diverse leadership teams are 25% more likely to outperform their peers.The disparity is no longer just about the "glass ceiling." The real culprit is what researchers are calling the "broken rung." This refers to the unique challenges women face in securing those critical first promotions that set the stage for future leadership. 

Join us for an expansive conversation on closing the leadership gap. We'll explore the professional journeys of men and women in the workplace through milestone mapping and gain valuable perspectives from women in the C-suite arena during our interactive panel. Together, we'll uncover solutions for more women to rise and lead at the highest levels.

11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. From Overlooked to Optimized: Unlocking Hidden R&D Tax Credit Gold in Insurance

Patrick Rogers, Tax Principal & Research and Development Director, Brown Plus

The insurance industry is no stranger to innovation—from underwriting algorithms to customer-facing digital tools. Yet many of these advancements quietly qualify for substantial R&D tax credits that often go unclaimed. This presentation uncovers the untapped potential hidden in everyday operations, demonstrating how insurers can identify, document, and maximize their eligible R&D activities. Backed by a strong track record in the insurance sector, we’ll share real-world examples of how companies have turned overlooked initiatives into significant tax savings.  You will gain clarity on navigating the complexities of R&D tax credit regulations while aligning with your organization’s innovation goals. We will cover key qualifying criteria, insurance-specific opportunities, and practical steps for compliance and optimization. Whether you're exploring the credit for the first time or seeking to enhance your current approach, this session will provide actionable insights to help you unlock what may be a goldmine in tax benefits.
