Business Insurance started the Women to Watch awards program in 2006 to recognize women leaders doing outstanding work in the insurance sector and risk and benefits management. We invited Business Insurance readers to nominate candidates for Women to Watch, and a panel of BI editors selected the honorees based on those nominations.

Profiles of the 2014 honorees will be published in the Dec. 8 edition of Business Insurance, and the honorees will be recognized at an awards event in New York on Dec. 9.

More information on the event, including registration information, is available here.
