Had an incredible time at the “Dynamic Leaders of Tomorrow” networking night, hosted exclusively for Men of Color Academy (MoCA) scholars! 🎉✨ The energy in the room was unmatched as NAAIA-GKC members connected with these bright young minds, ready to take on the world. It was a night full of inspiration, meaningful conversations, and promising futures! The MoCA scholars came prepared, polished, and eager to make the most of the opportunity. Their elevator pitches were on point, and they asked thought-provoking questions that showed just how driven they are. A few highlights from the future leaders pictured: • Abdul is leading an impressive AI project with the UMKC School of Law, working on a chatbot that reviews case data, helps litigators practice verbal arguments, and offers AI-generated rebuttals. Talk about innovation! 💡🤖 • Amir, a family member, is diving deep into Economics and already making waves. Big things are ahead for him! 📈💼 Can’t wait to see where these young leaders go next! 🌟 #DynamicLeaders #MoCAScholars #NAAIAGKC #NetworkingNight #FutureLeaders #MentorshipMatters #InspirationInAction #AIInnovation #Economics

Be sure to check out Jenelle Holmes, our chapter President, and the other esteemed members of this panel for what is sure to be a great discussion. #NAAIA #insurance #insuranceindustry

Still looking for $2,100 to reach our sponsorship goal by the end of the month! Most of you have at least 500 connections on LinkedIn. Granted, you may not actually KNOW all of them, but consider if asked only HALF of your connections to donate just $10, we'd meet our goal and have something left over to donate to a local charity. OR if 21 of your connections gave $100, OR if 2 companies donated $1,050.00.... I know you're not going to tell us that you don't support increasing and supporting diversity in the insurance industry are you? 😉 Join our Black Diamond and Emerald sponsors who've already decided to make a difference.

Do you know what is happening in just 52 DAYS??! The NAAIA - Greater Kansas City Signature Gala! Sure to be one of the most fabulous events in the Kansas City area this holiday season.
