Excited to have sponsored Infinity Sports Connection's Fourth Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament that benefits youth development. Kevie Dixon's commitment to young people runs deep. We're proud to help him and ISC "lift and raise" our future leaders. The Meridian, MS connection made it even more special.

As a Notre Dame Law grad, I’m honored to be named a Trailblazer as part of the law school’s celebrations. It’s a reminder of how much more work there is to do. And, it’s an opportunity to thank so many from Meridian, MS, Xavier University, New Prospect Baptist Church, and more who have made my journey possible.

Across 2021, InsurTech NY has led a team of insurance and innovation experts as it created the Insurance Collaboration Index. I'm excited to be part of that team and even more excited to announce today's launch of the Index

The Insurance Collaboration Index is a first-of-its-kind research and insights initiative to measure and rank insurance companies based on their ability to work effectively with InsurTechs. InsurTech solution providers can provide anonymous, candid feedback across a wide range of criteria. The Index's insights will help InsurTechs assess carrier strengths and their potential as collaboration partners. The insights will help carriers gain greater insights and focus efforts to strengthen partnerships with InsurTech startups and differentiate work experiences.

If you are an InsurTech founder, you can participate starting today by completing a short 15 minute survey about your experiences working with carrier partners. This survey will help capture the voice of InsurTechs and helps to articulate the key drivers for carriers to improve collaboration in an increasingly diverse and integrated insurance ecosystem of partners. Complete the InsurTech survey online now thru October 31st: https://lnkd.in/gwb9Dgwk

Or, you can also come by our Innovation Alley booth at Insuretech Connect (ITC) in Vegas on October 5 - 6 to fill out survey in person and meet the InsurTechNY team!
