For some women in insurance, the decision to enter the industry is a no-brainer. Family businesses with a longstanding tradition are the most frequent entree to a viable career path.
Others stumble upon the industry by accident–or by chance. Some seek to step away from the family business to make their own path, but despite their intentions, end up coming back to insurance. Each has a unique story to tell.
As part of our August issue of American Agent and Broker, we interviewed top insurance women who shared stories about their early days in the industry. Though some were reluctant to enter the field, others knew from the start that this career path suited their professional needs. Despite their different experiences, these nine women have all found success in the industry they have come to love.
