By signing The Pledge, GIS takes another important step in establishing a strong inclusive foundation.” – Nethra Subramanian, Chair, GammaSAID Student Council and member of the Gamma Zeta Chapter at The University of Austin at Texas

With 40% of GIS’s membership base from underrepresented populations, a commitment to equity is paramount in effectively supporting and preparing the insurance industry’s collegiate talent pipeline for success in the industry. We are proud to collaborate with Insure Equality as together we seek to create and enforce accountability across the insurance industry in pursuit of diversity and equality.” – Grace Grant, Executive Director, Gamma Iota Sigma

Gamma Iota Sigma focuses on “Shaping the Industry’s Future Through Talent.” We focus on making sure the industry welcomes that talent with open arms. We have many dreams and ambitions for this collaboration and are excited to watch it unfold. What better way to change the industry than listening to those who inherit it.
