COON RAPIDS, Minn., Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IFC National Marketing (IFC), the fastest-growing insurance marketing organization (IMO) in the Midwest, is pleased to announce that senior sales consultant Audrey Villeneuve has accepted a board position with the Minnesota-Twin Cities chapter of Women in Insurance and Financial Services (WIFS), a nationwide organization that offers professional development, mentorship, and peer support to female agents and advisors.
Villenueve was recruited to join the WIFS board after successfully organizing and hosting events and speaking at insurance industry conferences on the importance of increasing the number of women who work in financial services. The WIFS board appointment is indicative of Villeneuve's commitment to elevating women insurance professionals and ushering in the next generation of female agents and advisors. During her tenure on the WIFS board, Villeneuve will serve on the marketing and recruitment committees.
"WIFS is a phenomenal organization created by women, for women, and I have been impressed with their commitment to support women through education, mentorship, and peer support," said Villeneuve. "I've had the tremendous honor to learn from some incredible women at IFC and elsewhere as I have grown in my professional life, and I look forward to bringing those lessons into this new role to provide resources and connections that help women advance their careers."
Currently, women make up 60% of insurance industry employees but only 29% of senior leadership; meanwhile, only about 28% of financial advisors are women. WIFS hosts several educational events and webinars throughout the year, as well as networking events and other activities to change this dynamic. The group also offers scholarships and awards to recognize outstanding women in the industry. Villeneuve hopes to at least double membership in the organization by the end of 2024 and expand involvement from women in all parts of the insurance and financial advising industries.
