Message from the President

Welcome to the New York City Association of Insurance Women. As President, I am honored to serve an organization with a rich history of supporting, educating, and empowering insurance professionals throughout the New York metropolitan area. For generations, NYCAIW has provided a forum where individuals can build meaningful connections, enhance their professional development, and contribute to the advancement of our industry.

The insurance profession continues to evolve, presenting both new challenges and exciting opportunities. Our association remains committed to helping members navigate this changing landscape through educational programs, networking events, leadership development, and community involvement. Whether you are a seasoned industry veteran or just beginning your career, NYCAIW offers a welcoming environment where you can learn, grow, and thrive.
One of the greatest strengths of our organization is the dedication of our members. The relationships formed through NYCAIW often extend far beyond professional networking and become lasting friendships and valuable mentorship opportunities. Together, we support one another, celebrate achievements, and foster the next generation of insurance leaders.

I encourage you to take full advantage of everything our association has to offer. Attend our events, participate in our committees, share your expertise, and connect with fellow professionals across all sectors of the insurance industry. Your involvement strengthens our organization and helps ensure its continued success.
On behalf of our Board of Directors, thank you for your support of NYCAIW. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing our mission of professional development, education, and service to the insurance community.
I invite you to join us, become involved, and experience the many benefits of membership.

Warm regards,
Shari Mattis
President

At our annual Fall Kick Off event, insurance representatives gather to network and strengthen professional ties.  The annual May Luncheon is our largest fundraising event, where we host hundreds of insurance industry guests who help us honor the achievements of a female Insurance Professional of the Year.  We also hold in-person and online functions to facilitate networking connections, discuss important insurance and career topics and provide leadership skills.  These create opportunities for our attendees to connect and share their experiences, provide an atmosphere for them to lead with confidence and integrity, and help pave the way for career successes. 

Equally important is the NYCAIW’s support of various charities and their important causes.  Your attendance at and sponsorships of our events is the means to make that possible.  Every year, the NYCAIW funds two scholarships for The Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science at St. John’s University to female students seeking to pursue insurance careers, hosts also for St. John’s University a career panel discussion for its insurance students, financially donates to Sanctuary for Families (a shelter for battered family members), provides to local underprivileged schools supplies for students prior to each fall term and sponsors holiday food drives for the Food Bank for NYC.  One focus during my term will be to partner with an additional charity for the NYCAIW to support.  This is being made possible through our supportive network and we thank you greatly for allowing us to expand our charitable mission.     

We also recently launched our mentorship program, which connects experienced insurance professionals with those requesting insight and guidance to help them navigate the complexities of career development and professional journeys.  Our mentors, all from diverse backgrounds and industries, share with mentees their knowledge, insights, and experiences to foster an environment where mentees can thrive, gain confidence, and achieve their insurance professional goals.  Please consider strengthening our mentorship program and apply to be a mentor or mentee.

There is a place for all at the NYCAIW, whether you are a seasoned professional or new to the industry, and we encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities available. 

Enjoy exploring our website, attending our events, and being a part of our initiatives.  It is the collective that has built this vibrant and remarkable space, which continues to grow and thrive each year. 

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the NYCAIW. The future continues to be bright for the NYCAIW community!

Sincerely,

Christina R. Salem
