Leadership Library: Bring a Book, Take a Book!
We’re adding something new this year: a WIN Book Swap! Bring a favorite book that’s encouraged you, personally or professionally, and take home a new read shared by another attendee. No pressure, no formalities, and totally optional — just a fun way to connect and share inspiration.
Highlights from EmpowerHER 2025
We're so grateful for the incredible energy at our very first EmpowerHER Women's Conference in January 2025. We are feeling inspired by these amazing women in our industry, and we can't wait to do this again! Together, we are building an even stronger, more supportive community of Women in Insurance in Nebraska.

I enjoyed the motivating, uplifting spirit and knowledge of all of these professional women; learning their tools to cope, overcome and have that horizon in sight instead of getting stuck in the weeds.
