The Association for association professionals in Chicagoland

Financial & Insurance Conference Professionals (FICP) has retained SearchWide Global to find an authentic, collaborative, growth-oriented leader to serve as the new President. 

FICP is a highly curated, relationship-driven membership association serving meeting and event leaders within the financial services and insurance industries. With a 60+ year history, FICP has built a strong reputation as a trusted community focused on professional development, thought leadership, and meaningful industry connections.

FICP is a highly curated, relationship-driven community of senior-level corporate planners and hospitality partners, widely respected for the quality of its engagement and influence within the meetings and events industry.

With a strong financial foundation, steady membership growth, and an engaged Board, the organization is well-positioned for its next phase. The opportunity is to build on that momentum and elevate the value FICP delivers to both members and partners.

The next President will play a visible leadership role, shaping strategy, strengthening relationships, and advancing FICP’s position within the broader industry. This includes:

• Driving meaningful member engagement and value
• Evolving partner and sponsorship relationships
• Turning strategy into clear, executable priorities
• Elevating FICP’s voice and relevance

FICP’s model is intentionally different, no exhibit floor, no transactional environment. Value is created through connection, creating a more strategic platform and a higher bar for leadership.

The President reports directly to the Board of Directors and operates in a fully remote environment, engaging regularly with members, partners, and stakeholders across the country.

This is an opportunity to lead a respected organization with momentum and shape what’s next for a highly engaged, high-value community.
