Canadian Association of Black Insurance Professionals Announces Partnership with The Sovereign General Insurance Company

The Canadian Association of Black Insurance Professionals (CABIP) is proud to announce our partnership with The Sovereign General Insurance Company (Sovereign) – a leading insurance provider that has been empowering and protecting Canadian businesses to succeed by developing risk solutions that you trust and value since 1953.

Through this sponsorship, Sovereign aims to amplify CABIP’s important mission of advocating for representation, inclusion, and advancement of Black professionals within the Canadian insurance industry.

“As a purpose driven organization, Sovereign places great importance on how we positively impact Canadian businesses and the communities they serve,” said Colette Taylor, Chief Operating Officer of Sovereign Insurance. Last year, we officially adopted Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) as our Community Impact focus area and invited our partners to join us on our journey to learn, grow, and make meaningful, positive change within the insurance industry at large. We embrace anti-racism as a key focus and sought out a partner dedicated to advocating for the inclusion and advancement of under-represented professionals within the Canadian insurance industry – this aligned so closely with the mission of CABIP. CABIP’s programs are uniquely impactful and thoughtfully developed by their team. It’s a privilege to amplify the work they’re doing through our investment and energy. Through our partnership and membership with CABIP, Sovereign aims to listen, learn, advocate, champion, and get involved – and we look forward to bringing our industry partners along with us.”

“Sovereign General has proven to be a thoughtful and dedicated insurance company with a focus on bringing change to the insurance industry. With a focus on Diversity & Inclusion, Sovereign is an intentional partner and we are confident that working together will have a positive impact to their employees,” said Sheldon D. Williams, Chair and Co-Founder of CABIP.
“CABIP is thrilled to begin this journey with Sovereign General and look forward to making tangible change together.”
