In February, IBA put out a call for nominations for this year’s Elite Women list. Nominators were asked to provide details of their nominee’s achievements and initiatives over the past 12 months, including specific examples of their professional accomplishments and contributions to the industry as a whole.

To select the winners, the IBA team relied on the help of an independent and esteemed panel of judges that included: Myrna Chao, Willis Towers Watson; Rebekah Ratliff, Capital City Mediations/JAMS; Whitnee Dillard, Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America; Lauren C. Young, Travelers; and Pam Humphrey, Chubb.

The judges and the IBA team reviewed all nominations, examining how each individual had made a meaningful contribution to the industry, to whittle down the list to the final 65 Elite Women. To avoid conflicts of interest, self-voting and voting for relatives was also prohibited. If you’d like to find out more about the process, and hear from one of the judges check out this video now.
