In her end of year blog, new ICMIF CEO Liz Green reflects on 2024, a year of transformation and connection, as we embraced the theme of "Collaborating with purpose" during our Biennial Conference in Buenos Aires last month and explored three critical themes: People, Performance and Partnerships. As she looks ahead to 2025, Liz says she is optimistic about the future and the opportunities for ICMIF to amplify our collective impact. With 2025 designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Cooperatives, we have a unique chance to raise global awareness of our model and its transformative potential. The mutual and cooperative insurance sector, representing 26% of the global insurance market, is uniquely positioned to address today’s challenges through long-term value creation, social responsibility, and community engagement, values which are increasingly demanded by consumers and stakeholders. Liz believes the power of the ICMIF network lies in its diversity, with more than 210 member organisations spanning almost 55 countries. Her plan in her new role is for ICMIF to continue to be a catalyst for meaningful connections and knowledge exchange among our members in 2025 through a diverse programme of events, both in-person and virtual, designed to facilitate collaboration and strategic growth. Read the blog to learn more about our network and our exciting plans for members next year: https://lnkd.in/g-q7GBu6 #ConnectingMutualsGlobally #OnlyAtICMIF #CollaboratingWithPurpose #Mutuals #Mutuality #Cooperatives #IYC2025
