The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC), which represents over 38,000 insurance brokers across Canada, has today announced its executive officers and board of directors for 2020-2021.
There will be no changes to IBAC’s executive officers this year.

Those retaining their executive officer positions are: Chris Floyd – chair, Kent Rowe – president, Robyn Young – president elect, Linda Dolan – vice president, and Julia Marshall – vice president.
They will be joined by some new faces on IBAC’s board of directors for 2020-2021. The following individuals were appointed at the AGM:
Aly Kanji (British Columbia)
Paul VanderHooft (Alberta)
Dave Pettigrew (Saskatchewan)

Jeff Gatcke (Ontario)

IBAC CEO, Peter Braid, commented: “IBAC’s executive and board of directors are dedicated individuals from across the country who bring their knowledge, experience and insight to the national table. Throughout the challenges of the pandemic, they have provided strong leadership with a focus on supporting brokers and advocating for insurance consumers. I look forward to working with all returning and new board members to ensure IBAC remains effective and resilient as we emerge from this crisis.”
