Yesterday, CEOs from IOF member companies — Central Insurance, The Cincinnati Insurance Companies, and Westfield — joined a dynamic panel at BGSU Schmidthorst College of Business as part of the Risk Manager on Campus event, sponsored by the Spencer Educational Foundation. ? Key takeaways? Ohio’s insurance industry is cutting-edge and offers opportunities to make a meaningful impact from your home community to the global stage. Ohio is where top talent can thrive and rise to the highest levels of the industry. In fact, all three CEOs are proud alumni of Ohio universities — with two even graduating from Bowling Green State University itself! ? Joining them on the panel was Diane Robinson, whose insights and experience added a valuable perspective for students. ? A special thank you to Roc Starks for hosting the panel and for his ongoing passion and leadership within BGSU’s insurance program. Ohio Insurance Institute
