About FIWT:
The Federation of Insurance Women of Texas, also known as
FIWT, was formed in 1944. Our membership base includes insurance professionals throughout the state of Texas and beyond. FIWT is a not-for-profit 501(c)6 organization.
The goals of FIWT have not wavered in all these years. The
goals set by the original officers are the goals still today:
"First through study and practice, the building and maintaining of greater efficiency. Second, through association and business meetings, the establishing of acquaintance with insurance women. Third, to collectively participate in the civic betterment of the community. Finally, through unselfish service, seek to elevate the standards of the insurance profession."
Our mission statement is:
"The mission of the Federation of Insurance Women of Texas is to promote and provide education and professional development for its members and the Texas insurance industry while emphasizing service in our communities."
Our local associations located throughout the state of Texas
hold fundraisers to benefit local community service projects. On the state level FIWT raises awareness for one annual community service projects. Previous various charitable organizations include Make a Wish Foundation, St Jude’s
Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, and many others. In additional to holding fundraisers, our local associations also hold education classes for their members and the area surrounding them. FIWT owns several classes that can be taught around the state.
Each year FIWT holds two major events to provide education,
establish industry relationships, raise awareness for state community service projects, heighten career awareness efforts to bring new people into the
industry and encourage social interaction among peers. These events are the Mid-Year Education Conference in April and the Annual Convention and Trade Show in October. For more information about the events please visit our events page.
