Link U.S. Chapter

The mission of Link is to make the insurance industry the employer of choice for the LGBTQ+ community. Link was originally formed in London in 2012.  In December 2021, Link USA was launched with regional chapters and regional steering committees currently being formed across the country. For LGBTQ+ employees who work in insurance, Link provides a sense of community and a safe space within our industry. For LGBTQ+ allies, HR professionals, and DE&I champions please look to Link to be a specialist when it comes to LGBTQ+ matters/topics within the insurance industry. Together, we can link together to make the insurance industry the employer of choice for the LGBTQ+ community!
