In this episode of Industry Voice, Jeff welcomes Alyssa Bouchard, Senior Vice President, Development at Gamma Iota Sigma (GIS), the national collegiate talent pipeline for the insurance industry. Alyssa shares her inspiring journey from student member to national leader, highlighting how GIS empowers future insurance professionals through scholarships, mentorship, and immersive career experiences.
She breaks down how GIS bridges the gap between students and employers across carriers, brokers, TPAs, and the growing insurtech space. With 113 chapters and over 6,000 students across 167 universities, GIS is creating a diverse and well-rounded workforce equipped with both technical knowledge and essential soft skills.
The conversation covers GIS’s annual career fair, scholarship programs, professional development events like etiquette dinners and resume reviews, and why insurtechs should actively engage to shape the next generation of industry talent. Alyssa also gives a preview of the upcoming annual conference in Hartford, CT and shares actionable ways companies and professionals can get involved.
Whether you’re a hiring manager, industry veteran, or a rising student in risk management, this episode is packed with insights on investing in the future of insurance and insurtech.
