DATA Partners with WorkersCompensation.com to Spotlight Industry Champions

                               

The Diversity & Talent Alliance (DATA) is a non-profit powered by the vision and generosity of its sponsors; leading companies across insurance, law, healthcare, and claims. These partners believe in investing in the next generation of diverse talent. Their support makes it possible to fund scholarships, mentorship, and career pathways that not only change lives but also strengthen the future of workers’ compensation and risk management.

Now, in an exciting new partnership with WorkersCompensation.com as a media ally, DATA is amplifying its mission to connect education, mentorship, and industry opportunity. Both organizations share a commitment to education and stewarding the next generation of professionals. Through this collaboration, the voices and stories of DATA sponsors, members, and industry leaders will be featured in a series of monthly publications from September through January. This first feature shines a spotlight on all of our industry sponsors thanking them for their commitment and showing the industry why their contributions matter.

Honoring Our Sponsors

DATA proudly recognizes the following organizations for their leadership and investment in the industry’s future. Each sponsor’s support reflects a shared belief that nurturing diverse talent is essential for long-term growth and innovation.

Voices of Impact

The true measure of our sponsors’ investment is seen in the students themselves.

“I knew nothing about insurance before I joined this program, and I’m happy to say I learned a lot over this last summer,” said Awa Sonko, a Georgia State University political science major on a pre-law track.

Jackson Hamilton, a University of South Florida student, added: “I said yes to DATA because of its focus on making connections with people—the people I work with, serve, and help.”

These reflections show how industry sponsorship translates into real impact: exposure, relationships, and knowledge that build confident professionals who will one day lead this field.

Looking Ahead

This feature is the first of several monthly spotlights in partnership with WorkersCompensation.com. Future stories will highlight mentor voices, student outcomes, and the growing call to build a diverse talent pipeline.

To all of our sponsors: thank you for your generosity, your vision, and your belief in the next generation. You are helping shape an industry that is sustainable, inclusive, and innovative.
