“ANZIIF is pleased to partner with Steadfast to recognise these outstanding members of the insurance community,” ANZIIF chief executive Prue Willsford said.
“For our industry to thrive, it is vital that we work together to foster a culture of excellence and professionalism, a key part of which is lifelong learning.”
