The Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association (WSIA) announced the formation of the Insurance Industry Diversity Foundation (IIDF) during a Virtual Annual Marketplace panel discussion on diversity and inclusion. The IIDF’s mission will be to promote and attract diversity in race, gender, sexual orientation and disability and to influence meaningful progress in the diversity of the insurance industry and its talent pipeline. A recording of the panel discussion and announcement is available from WSIA.

West Point Insurance Services launched InsurTest, a testing and automation service specifically designed for small to mid-size insurance carriers, managing general agents and program administrators. InsurTest features a User Acceptance Testing program that eliminates project delays and errors without draining budgets or overburdening in-house staff, and an automated regression testing program to eliminate manual steps and redundant processes — without requiring insurers to make costly system replacements.
