Special committee members have developed a list of charges that includes analyzing the level of diversity and inclusion in the insurance industry; talking to a wide range of people about issues related to race, diversity, and inclusion in the insurance industry, and to access to insurance products; examining insurance sector barriers that could “potentially disadvantage people of color and/or historically underrepresented groups”; and giving the NAIC ideas about what to do.
The committee is supposed to provide recommendations for the health insurance and life and annuity sectors as well as for the property and casualty sector.
The special committee is inviting interested parties to send in written statements about race-related issues, and about which issues state insurance regulators should tackle first.
Written comments on the special committee’s work are due Sept. 10.
