Dawnmarie Black spoke at Falvey Marine’s event, discussing the impact of diversity and inclusion on business success.
The goal of the ‘Women at the Helm’ event is to spotlight female professionals who have made contributions to business and positively impacted the insurance industry.
There were four themes for the session:
Presenting alongside Dawnmarie were speakers from a variety of other US insurance providers such as Woodruff Sawyer, Assurex and Northeast Marine.
"Women at the Helm is important to me personally because it provides an opportunity for me to use my voice to continue to raise awareness about diversity, equity, and inclusion issues. I had the opportunity to talk about my own career journey and the work I am doing to support DEI in our organization and in the insurance industry. I also had the opportunity to highlight Lloyd’s commitment to gender diversity, gender parity, and racial diversity."Dawnmarie Black - Northeast Regional Director USA, Lloyd's
The event gave Dawnmarie and the other panellists the opportunity to underscore that organizations with a diverse make-up outperformed their non-diverse counterparts by 21% and were 27% more likely to demonstrate superior value creation in the long-term.
The forum also provided an opportunity for Lloyd’s to show leadership in these important conversations. It also provided a market development opportunity to connect with many important stakeholders.
Over 150 people attended the event in Newport, Rhode Island, USA including members of the local community, Falvey leadership, Falvey employees, Lloyd’s Underwriters, Lloyd’s brokers, and US retail brokers.
"We have so many amazing colleagues who are taking action and using their voices to create and support change for gender and racial diversity. The more of us who are actively leading these conversations, showing leadership and advocating, the more we will be able to keep the momentum going!"
