LEAD with Impact: Join the Leadership Excellence and Development Program (LEAD)

As we head into May, we’re excited to spotlight an upcoming opportunity you will not want to miss out on—the Future PLUS LEAD Program.

The Future PLUS LEAD Program- Spring 2026 cohort will kick off on May 6th. This six-week, immersive virtual leadership experience is designed to help industry professionals with 4–7 years of experience and those moving into the next phase of their leadership journey. Open to anyone looking to strengthen and elevate their leadership skills, the program welcomes professionals at a variety of career stages and is not limited to Future PLUS members. Through dynamic, instructor-led sessions, collaborative breakout discussions, and scenario-based learning, participants will gain practical tools, refine their leadership capabilities, and build the confidence needed to lead with purpose and impact.

The Future PLUS LEAD Program has already helped shape the success of three outstanding cohorts. Here is what participants had to say about their experience:

“Participating in the LEAD Program has given me the practical tools and techniques needed to help advance in my career and become an effective leader. During the program I was able to collaborate and network with others to strengthen our skills in communication, coaching, and conflict resolution. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to grow and strengthen their leadership qualities.”

— Megan Black, Assistant Vice President- Private and Nonprofit Practice, Aon

“One of the most valuable aspects was the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other professionals in the insurance industry. The program fostered a supportive, interactive environment where I could learn, practice new skills, and build confidence in my leadership abilities.

I would highly recommend the PLUS LEAD Program to professionals at all levels, including those without formal leadership titles, because it reinforces that leadership can be demonstrated at every level of an organization.”

— Samantha Goolman, Senior Underwriter, Curi
