Annette Dowdle of HUB International Gulf South

FOR OVER 20 YEARS, HUB International Gulf South Senior Vice President Annette Dowdle has passionately guided employers through an array of benefit programs. With a focus on corporate and employee wellness, she collaborates with clients to implement traditional medical programs as well as workplace health including mental and physical. Annette’s passion for health overflows into her everyday life as an advocate of the American Heart Association.

A recipient of the Willie Paretti Heart Hero Award, she brings awareness to heart disease’s impact on women and why awareness is so important. Cardiovascular disease is the No.1 killer of women – more than all cancers combined. In fact, 1 in 3 women die of heart disease each year. As a survivor, Annette has been instrumental in being a champion for the mission in our community through her volunteer leadership and her work in our local events on the Northshore and Southshore.

Involving HUB International, Annette and her team spearhead an internal competition each year to raise money and awareness for AHA. In the past six years, they have raised over $52,000. Personally, Annette has supported AHA for the last eight years and has donated nearly $12,000 toward the mission. She served as co-chair of the 2021 Northshore Heart Walk and will serve again as 2022 co-chair. This year, she will be the first person to join the prestigious giving society, Northshore Heart Walk Executives with Heart.
