 In her keynote address after the induction, President Nicholina Naa Yeye Adumuah reflected on CILAG’s growth from a small network of professionals to a nationally and internationally recognized association with over 400 members.

She highlighted key achievements, including mentorship initiatives, industry advocacy, international representation, and social impact projects such as fundraising support for childhood cancer patients. She reaffirmed the association’s commitment to integrity, professional excellence, and giving women in insurance a strong, confident voice in industry discourse over the next two years.
