The California Department of Insurance invites certified LGBT Business Enterprises to attend the 4th Annual Insurance Diversity Summit on Wednesday, November 4, at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS).

NGLCC corporate partners in the insurance industry have been including LGBTBEs in their supply chain for years. With the change in California insurance regulations, companies are now surveyed on how much spend they have with LGBTBEs and are therefore encouraged to actively use LGBTBEs in their procurement.
 

This year¹s Summit includes an exciting array of opportunities well suited for LGBTBEs including Matchmaking and Business-to-Business (B2B) sessions. 

Register today! Deadline to register for Matchmakers is October 19th
 
Other events at the summit include:
·      Presentation of the 2015 Insurer Supplier Diversity Survey Results
·      Best practices conversation about supplier diversity in the insurance industry
·      Breakout sessions for insurers-only and governing board stakeholders
