In observance of this very important date, Juneteenth, the Business Insurance D&I Institute applauds all those who are committed to furthering diversity, equity and inclusion. Last year we presented our first annual Alonzo Herndon Award to an inspirational leader who is committed to furthering diversity, equity and inclusion in the insurance industry and who exemplifies Mr. Herndon's courage, leadership and good will towards others. On October 19th at our annual D&I Institute Conference in Chicago we will honor another extraordinary leader with this award. Please nominate a candidate before July 15th.
