In this spirit, we take another opportunity to highlight our support of the National African-American Insurance Association (NAAIA) and our very own, Charles Watkins, a founding member and the treasurer of NAAIA’s Florida Chapter. Charles is also one of the driving forces behind NAAIA Florida’s scholarship program created to address the talent crisis and diversity gap in the insurance industry. The scholarship aims to afford outstanding African-American students the opportunity to engage in undergraduate studies in risk management at Florida State University (“FSU”) or via FSU’s Co-Op with Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (“FAMU”).

We are proud to be part of this endeavor and welcome insurance carriers and other organizations to join us in supporting this important cause. Read more about the efforts being made and the necessary fundraising that will make these efforts a success here.
