Due to the severe impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we have postponed our October 17th Claims Clinic to early 2025 and rescheduled the October Agent Roundtable for November 19th. Our thoughts are with everyone affected as we focus on recovery. In support, the NAAIA Foundation is collecting funds to assist impacted communities and provide aid to NAAIA members.

This holiday season, NAAIA Metro DC Chapter and Inroads are coming together for something special—a Holiday Soirée that’s all about connection, community, and making a difference. By uniting our networks, we’re not just celebrating; we’re uplifting others. Together, we’ll be gathering non-perishable items for SOME (So Others Might Eat) to help support those facing food insecurity. It’s a simple gesture, but one that reminds us of the power we have when we come together. If you’re attending, thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s make this season brighter for those around us and celebrate the strength of community partnerships. https://lnkd.in/eRmC8P4k #CommunityFirst #Partnerships #HolidayGiving #Inroads #NAAIA

New York, New York! What an unforgettable trip with iCAN in New York! 🌆 I’m still excited from last month’s events with iCAN: The Insurance Cultural Awareness Network! Taking our strategy across the pond to explore how we can support our friends in the USA was a huge step forward. Here’s a quick roundup of what we got up to: 🍒 Hosted our very first networking event, thanks to our sponsors at Beazley, in the iconic Rockefeller Plaza. Thank you Chantelle Davis, Christine Johnson and everyone at Beazley for making this possible. 🍒 Attended the Business Insurance DEI Conference with the brilliant Ajay Mistry ACMA, Erik Johnson, Maxim Cook, James Felton Keith, and Aaisha Hamid. 🍒 Connected with our sponsors at BMS Group! 🍒 Attended the annual DEI Luncheon, sponsored by APIW, Inc., Asian American Insurance Network (AAIN), and NAAIA - National African American Insurance Association, where we made new connections and reaffirmed our commitment to expanding DEI initiatives. 🍒 Finally met my girl Lee H. V., founder of MRIA - Multicultural (Re)Insurance Association, and celebrated her award win! 🍒 Had the pleasure of visiting Denise Campbell at Marsh’s office and meeting Jennifer M’Koma at Chubb's office—thank you both for the warm welcome! 🍒 Connected with so many new friends for iCAN! This journey wouldn’t be the same without the incredible support and camaraderie. I’m looking forward to building on these new relationships in 2025 and beyond. Huge thanks to Ajay Mistry ACMA and Kishan Mangat and the iCAN: The Insurance Cultural Awareness Network team for making this trip a success. It was an important step in our growth, and I’m so excited to see what we’ll accomplish together! #newyork #icancommunity #DEI #growth
