The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) is seeking submissions for the 2023 Donna Walker awards until May 26.

The two awards, for Inspiring Leadership and Emerging Talent, are sponsored by Allianz and celebrate individuals who have contributed significantly to insurance professionalism and promoting industry diversity and inclusion.

Submissions are in the form of a short video demonstrating professionalism, commitment, achievement and passion in the insurance industry. Those nominated should have championed equality and shown great leadership and commitment to the insurance industry.

Ms Walker was Allianz Australia’s Chief Technical Officer and on the board of ANZIIF. She died suddenly in 2019 days after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

The 2023 winners will be announced at the Diversity and Inclusion Seminar at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park on June 29.

Submissions can be made here.
