Every year, Business Insurance honors an insurance industry DEI team with the DEI Initiative of the Year award at the U.S. Insurance Awards program. This year the five finalists, honored for their exemplary DEI initiatives for making significant strides in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organizations and communities, will present their initiatives to conference attendees. Each leader has advanced DEI in their respective fields and also inspired others to follow in their footsteps. All attendees will receive a booklet detailing these successful programs.
