SUMMARY:WIN Webinar - Closing the Leadership Gap: One Rung at a Time - August 18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us August 8th for another engaging Women in Insurance in Nebraska (WIN) webinar This event is part of a series designed to foster networking\, idea sharing\, and professional development among female peers across the state and nationwide. Closing the Leadership Gap: One Rung at a TimeJulie Webb\, PresenterThe insurance industry is female dominated. That's right\, 59% of professionals in the sector are women. But the real gap isn't in the workforce\; it's in leadership. Only 22% of C-suite positions are held by women. Why does this matter?  Because it's a business imperative. Companies with gender-diverse leadership teams are 25% more likely to outperform their peers. This disparity is no longer just about the "glass ceiling." The real culprit is what researchers call the "broken rung." This refers to the unique challenges women face in securing those critical first promotions that set the stage for future leadership.Join us for a conversation on closing the leadership gap. Together\, we'll uncover solutions for more women to rise and lead at the highest levels\, strengthening our organizations\, driving innovation\, and creating more inclusive\, successful businesses for everyone.Find more resources to help you succeed here: Women in Insurance in Nebraska (WIN)\nIIAN's women's initiatives\, to include this webinar\, are designed with women attendees in mind. However\, please note that they are open to everyone who supports the growth and leadership of women in insurance.
