The award recognizes 20 women annually for exemplary leadership and influence in the largely male-dominated benefits advisory industry, and for their work improving benefit and healthcare plans for employers, advising influential leaders, and innovating in an industry under transformation.

"I've spent much of my career being the only woman in the room, and to be recognized for my contributions and what I bring to the table as a female leader is an honor," said Manning. "I'm proud to represent female actuaries and provide women with confirmation that these roles are available to those with the skills and desire to pursue them."

Manning, a 30-year industry veteran, is currently serving as president elect for the International Actuarial Association.
