Embracing May; Innovation and Inclusion in NAAIA!

Embracing May

Innovation and Inclusion at NAAIA

As May blossoms, so does our dedication at NAAIA to foster diversity, innovation, and inclusion within the insurance industry. This month's edition of our newsletter, 'Embracing May: Innovation and Inclusion at NAAIA,' not only highlights our participation at RIMS RISKWORLD in San Diego from May 5-8 but also underscores the excitement of our just concluded regional forum season, and I want to thank all the attendees and speakers for joining us in Richmond, Boston, Las Vegas and Detroit!

NAAIA is on the move! We were delighted to share new additions to our staff and we’re gearing up for our Agent Roundtable on May 16th, followed by our Claims Clinic on May 21st, which will focus on the latest industry developments. Additionally, we are preparing to distribute the NAAIA Census, our new membership survey designed to better understand and serve our community's needs. We look forward to sharing the results at our Membership Town Hall on June 27th.

Your active participation and steadfast support are crucial to our success, fueling our mission and empowering us to serve as catalysts for change in the industry. Thank you for being an integral part of our thriving network. Let's continue to innovate and lead together as we propel NAAIA to new heights this spring.

Our warmest regards!
