Chinyuku’s women’s month appreciation message

25 Mar 2026 Insurance24
Staff Writer When I was inaugurated as IIZ president for my first term in November 2024, I was adorned with the “presidential chain”. Naturally, I asked what the chain symbolised because I noticed there were names of past presidents on it.

I definitely had no experience as a president, and it has been constant learning for me. I am fortunate to be surrounded by a powerful and determined relay team that comprises an extremely capable board and the two vice presidents. Read more
