Three of my favorite moments from the NAAIA National Conference in New Orleans: 1) The Annual Membership Meeting. We shared lots of exciting updates about NAAIA's growth, Vision 2030 progress and our new mentorship program. There were over 700 members in that meeting, which is more people than all of the attendees and exhibitors at our 2022 conference. Wow! 2) The State of Black America fireside chat with Charles Phipps of the Urban League Of Louisiana was a top hit. His question to us: are you renting your job in the insurance industry or owning your job in the insurance industry? To make progress on all issues - voting rights, pay equity, closing the racial wealth gap, overcoming the DEI backlash, we have to embrace an ownership mentality. 3) The Annual Awards Gala. Not only did we get to celebrate outstanding leaders in our industry, we raised nearly $70,000 in support of future leaders through the JL. Tillman Endowed Scholarship. The gala is the official end of conference and you can see my joy as I hit the dance floor. To answer your question: yes, I knuck if you buck. 🤣 #millenial NAAIA - National African American Insurance Association - I'm so proud of us! 1,057 people (plus the handful of you who snuck in - we saw you!), 2,700 members, 24 chapters and 81 Partners. We are stronger than ever before, and we are keeping this movement alive in our industry. It's Time! Let's GO!!! See you in Philadelphia! #NAAIA24 #NAAIAinNOLA
