Omari outlines the history of NAAIA, founded by an independent agent 28 years ago. With 2,700 members and 24 chapters nationwide, NAAIA represents every industry sector and is dedicated to members\u2019 professional development and empowerment. Your On Point host naturally asks the honest (if cringeworthy) questions you\u2019ve come to expect on race and racial issues. And Omari deftly educates! Diversity means different things to different people, he says. Thus, he encourages insurance organizations to be specific about any talent gaps. \u201cGive yourself permission to say, for example, \u2018We want blacks and African Americans.\u2019 We have been unwilling as a society to do that. It makes us uncomfortable. It pits people of color groups against each other.\u201d He advises, \u201cStart with the group you have the largest gap in,\u201d and never stop paying attention so that your organization is future-ready to serve the customer.\t<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Run Time: 39:15 Association Champions Black Insurance Pros (No Ratings Yet) Loading&#8230; 219 views Close Embed Video Use the below code to add this video to your website.
