Jacobson Discusses How to Build a Diverse Board with NAMIC

CHICAGO – Diversity and inclusion are prominent topics of discussion within the insurance industry and many mutual companies are examining their boards’ compositions. In an industry where directors often remain in their positions long-term, how can insurers best implement diversity and inclusion initiatives? Margaret Resce Milkint, managing partner of The Jacobson Group, will discuss best practices for cultivating a diverse and inclusive board in an upcoming National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies webinar.

Milkint will join Kevin Kinross, partner at Taft Stettinius & Hollister, LLP, for “Building a Diverse Board.” The presentation will explore trends in board composition and discuss how mutual companies can work toward creating more diverse boards.

“There’s enormous value in diversity of thought at the board level,” said Milkint. “By understanding its breadth, recognizing its business benefits, and being aware and intentional in planning, organizations can build diverse and inclusive boards that are forward-thinking and impactful.”

The webinar will take place on July 24, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. For more information or to register, visit https://www.namic.org/edu/virtual/19series/governance.
