Falvey Insurance Group and the American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIMU) have partnered for the International Day for Women In Maritime to host a panel discussion amongst women in the maritime industry.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) recently designated May 18th as the first-ever International Day for Women in Maritime. “The observance will celebrate women in the industry and is intended to promote the recruitment, retention and sustained employment of women in the maritime sector, raise the profile of women in maritime, strengthen IMO’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality) and support work to address the current gender imbalance in maritime.”
This event is part of Falvey’s larger speaker series to highlight professional women, “Women at the Helm”, and will include a panel discussion between:
- Captain Alexandra Hagerty, Ship Captain, Executive Leader, Master on Hospital Ship Africa Mercy
- Meredith Neizer, Chief Logistics Officer at ARMADA
- Tiina Ruhlandt, President & CEO at EIMC
- Karen L. Griswold, SVP Ocean Marine, Property & Specialty at Chubb
Isabelle Therrien, Senior Vice President – Canada at Falvey, and International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) Cargo Committee Chair, will serve as moderator at the event.
“Women at the Helm – Women In Maritime” will be hosted at the Yale Club on Wednesday, May 18th between 12:00-2:00 PM with a networking session prior to the panel discussion. A virtual option will be available to make this event accessible to all interested attendees. To learn more and register for the event, please visit the AIMU website.
About Women at the Helm: With all female panelists and moderators, the goal of “Women at the Helm” is to spotlight female professionals who have made notable contributions to business, those who have balanced career and family, others who have made an impact in the insurance industry, and those who have encouraged diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organization.
There were over 125 people in attendance at the first “Women at the Helm” panel discussion and networking event on International Women’s Day, which highlighted Women Leaders in Business including Helena Foulkes, Barbara Cottam, Rachelle Green, and Gina Perini. The second event is set to take place on May 9th, following Mother’s Day, in recognition of “Women Balancing Career & Family”, followed by the “Women in Maritime” event in partnership with AIMU.
