THIA is excited to kick the New Year off with the announcement of the Rising Stars program, designed to foster industry participation and growth among high-potential individuals building their career in the travel insurance industry.

Engaging the next generation of industry leaders is an important step to ensure we have diversity of thought, new ideas and strong engagement across our industry for years to come.
