Acceptance Insurance announces launch of EmpowHER Employee Resource Group in celebration of Women's History Month

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In celebration of Women's History Month, Acceptance Insurance (OTCQX: FACO) officially launched EmpowHER, the company's employee resource group to support female-identifying team members and allies.

Sixty-seven percent of Acceptance Insurance's 1,300-plus team members are women, compared to an industry average of 57 percent. Acceptance created the group as part of its commitment to greater diversity, equity, and inclusion.

"EmpowHER is only possible because of our company's commitment to put people first," said Sarannah McMurtry, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Acceptance. "We created this group because we know women have the greatest opportunity to flourish when we work collaboratively and put substance behind the sentiment of gender diversity."

McMurtry, who also serves as the group's executive sponsor, has worked as in-house counsel at Acceptance Insurance for 15 years and was named one of three finalists for the 2022 Professional of the Year by the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance.

According to the EmpowHER vision statement, the group was established "to increase the visibility and advancement of women leaders within the company by fostering change management, communication, and the pursuit of growth and learning."

The inaugural leadership committee is led by co-chairs Tiffany Jefferson, a 27-year veteran in property and casualty insurance, and District Sales Manager Kimberly Lawson. Regional Training Specialist Erica Beauchamp was elected as secretary, and Managing Agent Maria Diaz Vasquez will serve as treasurer.

Recently named to the Forbes 2022 list of America's Best Employers, Acceptance Insurance has been helping hard-working people deal with life's uncertainties for more than half a century by making it easy to find the right coverage at the right price.
