"We wanted this panel to be an honest conversation about what change actually looks like in practice and what it really takes to make it work."

The panel will feature perspectives from leaders across Rival and the broader industry, including:

• Paul Harper, President & COO, Mitch Insurance
• Ema Roloff, Co-Founder & Principal Consultant, Roloff Consulting
• Steve Pieroway, Principal, Benevolent Marketing
• Christie Gray, People & Culture, Rival
