About the Council
The Council is responsible for furthering our mission of advancing the insurance profession in the Ottawa region through education, professional development and personal growth. All council members generously give their time, expertise, skills and knowledge. These volunteers provide strategic direction as their contributions directly impact the success of all of 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 elected to the Council.
