She discussed various ways the industry has successfully incorporated diversity into its workforce, where she sees areas of improvement and how inclusion helps with attracting and retaining talent. She also discussed the unique perspective women can bring to leadership roles within the insurance industry ahead of IICF's Women In Insurance Conference Series, which begins with a one-day regional forum in New York on June 7 and will hold additional one-day regional forums in Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles.
