In October 2019, the Society of Insurance Research named President of Proactive Worldwide David Kalinowski a member of its 2020 Board of Directors. SIR announced all the individuals on its new Board of Directors in a LinkedIn post, displaying representation from a variety of companies affiliated with the insurance and marketing industries.

Kalinowski has been a contributing thought leader through his various presentations at SIR spring summits and annual conferences since 2012. He joined the SIR team this year as a Director, along with many other representatives from companies such as American Family Insurance, Allstate, The Hartford, USAA and more. The new management team oversees all the events and strategic initiatives facilitated by SIR.

As a member of the board, Kalinowski will play a part on different committees and engage in the decision-making process related to the future direction of SIR. Because SIR is known for its commitment to innovation and research in marketing and planning, becoming a part of the team will give Kalinowski the opportunity to share his years of knowledge and expertise on a wide scale. “I and extremely excited to join the SIR Board and have tremendous respect for the other Board members, and I look forward to working with them as they all share a deep passion for SIR,” said Kalinowski. “I’m eager to draw from my 30 years of work experiences to help make a positive impact on SIR and the value it delivers its membership.”

SIR is a United States organization founded on the principles and values of innovation. For almost 50 years, it has served as an outlet for insurance and marketing experts to share research, build professional relationships and pave the way for positive change in the competitive market. Members of the organization may come from any number of industries, including education, government, product development and many more.

SIR hosts multiple events throughout the year — such as annual conferences, webinars and workshops — to encourage communication between businesses and organizations while allowing them to share ideas and insights. The ideas and goals of SIR fall in line with those of Proactive Worldwide, which has representatives who are constantly striving to develop new solutions and strategies that will help businesses grow.

As President and co-founder of Proactive Worldwide, Kalinowski supervises all the company’s business and administration processes. He has had a dynamic role in the company’s operations since its initiation in 1995, which means he has also led projects and engagements for many Fortune 500 businesses across a wide range of industries.

Kalinowski’s skills are versatile, allowing him to help clients develop competitive strategies, conduct benchmarking assessments and plan wargaming events. In addition, Kalinowski has authored multiple articles and publications centered around marketing strategy and competitive intelligence.
