Diane Delaney never planned to work in insurance. Like many professionals in our industry, it found her instead, beginning with a Wall Street job at AIG just days after college graduation. Now, as Executive Director of the Private Risk Management Association (PRMA), she leads a 6,000+ member organization that's transforming how high-net-worth insurance professionals educate themselves and serve their clients.

This conversation peels back the curtain on what makes PRMA such a powerful force in today's challenging insurance market. Diane breaks down how the association provides educational resources, professional development, and perhaps most importantly, community for insurance professionals navigating unprecedented market disruptions. "How an association truly thrives for its members is during times of disruption," she explains, highlighting how PRMA has doubled in size since 2022 precisely because it provides solutions when they're needed most.

From the renowned annual summit (which has grown from 420 to nearly 800 attendees) to specialized initiatives like the Women in Insurance chapter, PRMA creates spaces where competitors become collaborators. The association's "Thrive Community" platform exemplifies this spirit, where brokers openly ask questions and share solutions rather than guarding their knowledge. As Diane notes, "It's amazing to see how the industry comes together. Where it could be one broker competing against another, but there's plenty of business out there. That goes out the window."

Whether you're already working in high-net-worth insurance or simply curious about specialized industry resources, this episode illuminates why education and collaboration matter now more than ever.

As Diane reminds us: "The more we can collaborate, the better off we will be as individuals and as a whole."
