Broker
Cambrian Insurance Brokers
Jennifer Savage admits that becoming an insurance broker “was not my dream career growing up.” Despite constant encouragement from her father (himself a broker), Savage ignored his entreaties until she moved to northern Ontario with her husband. “I had no career to fall back on, and my father once again suggested that I look into the possibility of insurance,” she recalls. “I took the phone book and found Cambrian Insurance. I explained that I had no experience, and the brokerage took me right under their wing.”
Today, Savage’s key accomplishments include her involvement in the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario’s Young Brokers Council and obtaining her life insurance licence through the Life License Qualification Program. “It was a self-study course, and being able to do that with two young children at home was an accomplishment in itself,” she says.
Savage was recently elected president of the Young Brokers Council and spends countless hours on charity events, including efforts for local food banks and shelters.
