Conestoga Chapter

Empowering insurance careers

At Conestoga we are continually growing and evolving to meet the educational needs of Ontario’s thriving p&c insurance industry. 

Governing Council Members

Our volunteers are indispensable to Institute governance as their contributions directly impact the success of all our event activities and educational endeavors. The Executive Committee is elected for a one-year mandate, renewable for two years. Only members in good standing can be appointed to the Council.
If you would like to make a difference and give back to the insurance industry, contact us for more information on the Council and other volunteer opportunities.
