The ability to give back through fundraising events and hands-on projects gives insurance professionals the ability to truly immerse themselves in the communities in which they reside and work. Whether spending an afternoon at a local soup kitchen or participating in meaningful dialogue surrounding leadership with fellow professionals, IICF members never run short of ways to give back and engage with their communities. These opportunities include:

Week of Giving and service projects: A service-focused week in October in which members of the insurance industry donate their time to participate in 200-plus service events held across the United States. Service areas include education, food programs, homeless services, youth and children, arts, women's programs and many more.

Networking events: Events (such as the Casino Night) that are designed to bring the industry closer together while raising money to support funding and programming for IICF's regional grants committees.

Annual dinners: Formal gala events hosted once a year in each of IICF's four domestic regions, as well as in its London Division. Each dinner features celebrity speakers, guest speaker appearances and industry honorees.

Women in Insurance Conference Series: IICF's flagshipconference event takes place every year in June, with the format switching each year between one three-day event in New York City and four, single-day events in key metro areas across the U.S. Proceeds from the conference fund IICF programming at the national and regional levels.

Combining the collective strengths of the insurance industry, IICF enriches communities and lives. As IICF and its supporters gear up for the 2016 Week of Giving in October, take a moment to learn more and get involved in a service project near you at IICF's website.
