The Council is responsible for furthering our mission of advancing the insurance profession in Manitoba through education, professional development, and personal growth. All council members generously give their time, expertise, skills, and knowledge. These volunteers are indispensable to our governance as their contributions directly impact the success of all the activities, events, and seminars we organize. 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.
