Committees

The following is a brief description of each committee’s function. For more information please contact the Executive Assistant, Andrea Raspa.

Programs

The IBTR program committee is responsible for the organization of our monthly meetings and seminar content. Monthly luncheons and bruncheons frequently offer the opportunity to listen and engage with industry leaders, speaking on a variety of topics that keep our members informed on current trends.

CHAIR: Darren Rodrigues

Membership

IBTR membership committee is responsible for encouraging membership involvement, collecting membership fees, and attracting non-member brokerages to join the IBTR and IBAO.

CHAIR: Andrea Raspa

Political Action

IBTR’s political activities contribute to the national “Grass Roots” campaign designed by IBAC. We have identified and assisted local brokers with visits to local MP’s and MPP’s in the past to ensure our message is heard in each riding. In 1998 we created a database of our members indicating which region they live and vote in order to be ready with member representatives in each GTA provincial and federal riding when we require a message to be sent to our government.

CHAIR: Brooke Hunter

Automation

The Automation committee is responsible for maintaining and updating the website and notifying our membership of upcoming events. We are continually looking for ways to improve our presence and communication.

CHAIR: Alex Guthrie

Education

The Education committee’s primary function is to not only help make education available to its members through seminars, luncheons and organized courses, but also to involve our local college and university programs and their students to become Insurance Brokers. The benefit to the membership is that the subject material is not only timely and informative but cost effective for all members. We are continually looking for ways to improve not only the content of the material but the manner in which its member offices are informed of upcoming courses.

CHAIR: Santislav Kojokin

Golf Tournament

IBTR is pleased to host an annual golf tournament each June. This event is only available to members of our association. This event sells out quickly so members are encouraged to register early. We welcome all interested hole sponsors or prize donations to contact our Golf committee chairperson.

CHAIR: Cory Hoffman

Meet The Underwriter Night

Each May, IBTR hosts our annual Meet the Underwriter Night (formerly called “Friendship Night”. This social occasion brings Insurance Brokerage Staff together with Insurance Company staff giving members a chance to meet face to face with colleagues they often speak with on the phone. In 2016 we celebrated our 25th anniversary. This annual event proves to be an evening that many people in this industry look forward to attending every year.
