CNA Canada Renews Sponsorship with the McGannon Foundation

TORONTO, November 26, 2024 - CNA Canada is proud to announce our renewed corporate sponsorship of the McGannon Foundation, a Canadian charitable foundation dedicated to risk management education.

 

The McGannon Foundation offers a Student Involvement Program for post-secondary students enrolled in risk management, insurance or related programs. CNA Canada’s sponsorship provided students with the opportunity to attend the annual RIMS Canada Conference, to learn about risk management and insurance through educational sessions and network with industry professionals.

 

“The McGannon Foundation would like to recognize CNA for their generous and ongoing support. CNA and their leadership team gracefully welcomed all the 2024 Student Involvement Program recipients this past October at the RIMS Canada Conference, showcasing the value of a career in insurance; a cornerstone of the Foundation’s mission. On behalf of Frances Weeks and April Savchuk, Co-Presidents, and the rest of the Board of the McGannon Foundation, we are grateful for your contribution and for championing our cause.”

 

“We are proud to continue to support the McGannon Foundation, who play a critical role to advance risk management education in Canada through scholarships, research grants and hands-on opportunities that prepare students for successful careers.” says Erin Gattoni, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Operations. “Investment into education, research and mentorship, is vital in fostering innovation and growing talent in the risk management and insurance industry.”
