Q&A with the President of California Agents and Health Insurance Professionals (CAHIP)

California Broker: What are the top issues that CAHIP is set to address in 2024?

Tim Kanter: Membership and GROWTH! We need to focus on membership retention and growth in two distinct ways. First, we need to ensure all our members understand the tremendous value of being a part of the association, underscoring the many ways in which we serve them for a relatively small amount of annual dues.

Women's Leadership Summit (WLS) is a unique conference that attracts a diverse group of women. Most of the attendees work within the healthcare insurance and benefits industry but current and aspiring female leaders in other fields are welcomed.

The program is carefully curated to foster personal growth, leadership and self-awareness. WLS participants get a deeper sense of self, and tools to unleash their own unique magic once they return home equipped, empowered, engaged and ELLEVATED.

Proceeds help fulfill the mission of providing financial grants for women to expand and grow through attending other industry events.
