Qualities of an Inclusion Champion

The 2021 IICF Inclusion Champions will be honored during the IICF International Inclusion in Insurance Forum June 15 – 17, 2021

The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) celebrates greater diversity and inclusion at all levels within the insurance industry. With our Inclusion Champion Award, we recognize leaders who are personally and visibly committed to inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility and who embrace diversity of all kinds.
‍
IICF will honor two 2021 Inclusion Champions who each demonstrate leadership commitment and advocacy for diversity and inclusion.
