Managing Risk in an Increasingly Unmanageable World

Keynote Speaker: Kathy Bardswick President and CEO of The Co-operators Group Limited
Kathy Bardswick


Kathy Bardswick has spent more than thirty years working for The Co-operators, gaining experience in a wide variety of roles before being named the organization’s President and CEO in 2002. As a Canadian-owned co-operative, The Co-operators brings a unique perspective to the insurance industry, and yet faces the same challenges as its competitors. Kathy will discuss the impact that low interest rates, turbulent investment markets, climate change and regulatory change have on the industry and how it must evolve to manage the rapidly changing risk environment of the 21st century. She will outline the advantages inherent in the co-operative business structure, how its democratic governance functions, and the strategic planning process at The Co-operators. Kathy is always eager to share her wealth of knowledge to help the students of today develop into the leaders of tomorrow.
