“Being a member of PLUS has allowed me to access industry events outside of my direct discipline. These events are always extremely educational and help round out my knowledge within the insurance industry as well as tangential businesses. Along with education, PLUS is a great networking tool and enables me to connect with those outside of the D&O space.”
“The biggest benefit of having a PLUS membership is the networking opportunities that exist. The ability to talk to a variety of industry leaders in a relaxed setting is invaluable. It has helped strengthen my knowledge of the industry along with allowing me to build bigger and better relationships with brokers, underwriters, and attorneys.”
“PLUS has given me the opportunity to extend my network of brokers, other underwriters, and resources. Future PLUS events have helped form friendships with other industry professionals my age, even if we are competitors! PLUS has an abundance of opportunities for education, volunteering, and networking throughout the year, there is always something to look forward too!”
“Prior to joining the Hartford PLUS Chapter this year, I attended social and educational events and really enjoyed them. I felt compelled to join for the great opportunities to network with local professionals, expand my professional education and volunteer in the local community. Everyone has been extremely welcoming and helpful thus far. I am very excited to network with more insurance professionals nationwide through Future PLUS.”
