Falvey Cargo’s own Isabelle Therrien, President of the Canadian Board of Marine Underwriters (CBMU), is delighted to lead this year’s Spring Conference, which coincides with the organization’s historic 100th anniversary.
The 2017 Spring Conference brings prominent underwriting talent and thought leadership from across Canada together for 2 days of informative and actionable programming focused on the latest industry developments and insights impacting underwriters today.
Read Isabelle’s message below:
“From its humble beginning in 1917 to what it is today, the CBMU has continuously been the leading voice of the Marine Insurance industry in Canada.
The evolution of shipping over the past 100 years has been staggering. From ships’ primary energy sources going from coal to oil, from steam engines to diesel ones, from the introduction of new navigable routes to the completion of the St-Lawrence Seaway, and not to mention containerization – the innovation that revolutionized and expanded the pathways of global trade – all of these historic events (and many more) have shaped the Marine Insurance industry to what it is today.
The CBMU has brilliantly navigated through 100 years of history. As such, we want to honor the past, take a moment to celebrate all of our accomplishments as an industry and look at the road ahead with great excitement.
Please join us on May 24th and 25th for our 100th-anniversary celebrations. We have an exciting program planned and we look forward to seeing you there.”
