“We’re so thankful for our sponsors—their support plays a key role in everything we do,” said VP Marketing & Communications, Norah Black. “It helps fund new training and resources for brokers, push for positive change at the policy level, connect with future talent and highlight the important work brokers do every day. Their backing brings our flagship events like YBCcon and IBAOcon to life and helps us build a more connected broker community across Ontario.”
IBAO is pleased to welcome two new organizations to their sponsor lineup this year—Aviva Canada at the Magenta level, and Primaco at the Bronze level.
“We’re proud to rejoin IBAO as an annual sponsor,” said Ben Isotta-Riches, Chief Distribution Officer, Aviva Canada. “As Ontario’s leading voice for brokers, IBAO fosters industry collaboration and empowers brokers to provide critical insight and expertise that help consumers make more informed decisions. This partnership deepens our connection with the broker community and supports our shared commitment to delivering better outcomes for consumers.”
“We’ve supported Canadian brokerages with financing solutions since 1962 and are excited to be working closely with Ontario’s broker force,” said Emeric Morin, President and CEO, Primaco. “Becoming an IBAO sponsor formalizes this long-standing commitment, and we’re looking forward to strengthening that connection with this partnership.”
“A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors for their ongoing partnership and support,” said IBAO President Shara Bierman. “Together we’re reinforcing Ontario’s thriving broker network and cultivating the next generation of brokers to ensure its future growth and success.”
