As we look back on 2025, one moment that continues to stand out is the Women Who Lead event in Nashville.

Bringing together some of the most driven and impactful leaders in the industry, the event wasn’t just about recognition — it was about perspective. It highlighted what strong leadership actually looks like in today’s Medicare space, and why it continues to be one of the biggest drivers of long-term growth.

Throughout the event, one theme remained consistent: the most successful agencies are built by leaders who are willing to invest in people, stay adaptable, and lead from experience.

Leaders like Stephanie Kirk and Licy Bonilla shared real insight into what it takes to build and scale in this industry — not just from a production standpoint, but from a culture and leadership perspective. Their stories reinforced a simple but important idea: growth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through intentional leadership, consistency, and a clear vision.

What made the event especially impactful was the level of collaboration and shared experience in the room. These weren’t surface-level conversations — they were real discussions around challenges, opportunities, and what it takes to continue evolving in a changing industry.

At SRG, we believe leadership is one of the most important factors in building a sustainable business. The Women Who Lead event was a strong reminder that when the right people are in the room, sharing knowledge and pushing each other forward, it creates momentum that extends far beyond a single event.

As we continue building into 2026, it’s that same focus on leadership, collaboration, and growth that will continue to drive our network forward.
