More than 130 professionals representing insurers, trade associations, higher education and research are meeting in Atlanta this week to brainstorm ways the insurance industry can attract, train and retain the next generation of leaders.

The Insurance Education and Career Summit, hosted by The Griffith Insurance Education Foundation and facilitated by Demmie Hicks of DBH Consulting, centers on 3 days of small-group working sessions to define obstacles, initiatives and first steps the industry can collectively take to address the talent drain that is already underway as seasoned insurance professionals retire.

The event is unique in its inclusion of academics, advisors and more than a dozen risk management students from universities including Ball State, the University of Georgia, Olivet College, Florida State University, Eastern Kentucky University, Temple University and Mississippi State.
