Managing risk in an increasingly unmanageable world
Managing Risk in an Increasingly Unmanageable World:
Kathy Bardswick, President and CEO of The Co-operators Group Limited
Kathy Bardswick has spent more than thirty years working for The Co-operators, gaining
experience in a wide variety of roles before being named the organization’s President
and CEO in 2002. As a Canadian-owned co-operative, The Co-operators bring a unique
perspective to the insurance industry, and yet faces the same challenges as its competitors.
Kathy will discuss the impact that low interest rates, turbulent investment markets, climate
change and regulatory change have on the industry and how it must evolve to manage
the rapidly changing risk environment of the 21st century. She will outline the advantages
inherent in the co-operative business structure, how its democratic governance functions,
and the strategic planning process at The Co-operators.
Time: 4:30 – 5:30 pm, SAF Hagey Hall 1108, Reception at The Don Craig Atrium:
