Farmington Hills, Mich., January 6, 2025 — Amerisure is proud to announce its selection as one of the RISE Founding 50 members, a national distinction recognizing companies committed to developing the next generation of insurance talent. This invitation-only program brings together organizations stepping forward with purpose—investing in mentorship, collaboration and workforce innovation at a time of significant change in the sector.
“We all benefit when we make space for the next generation to grow,” said Steve Donnelly, Chief Service Officer at Amerisure and RISE Advisory Board member. “Joining the RISE Founding 50 allows us to support emerging leaders in a real, hands-on way—creating pathways for learning and long-term growth.”
As seasoned professionals retire and competition for skilled workers intensifies, insurers are being called upon to adopt sustainable approaches that help preserve continuity and prepare the workforce for what’s ahead. Backed by an 8,000-plus professional community, RISE connects employers and emerging talent—building opportunities for collaboration, leadership development, and industry-wide connection.
“When we invest in relationships and the growth of future leaders,” Donnelly said, “we’re not just developing talent; we’re helping shape a future for insurance that’s more inclusive, more resilient, and better prepared to support our policyholders.”
For Amerisure, this partnership reinforces more than a century of investing in people and building empowered teams—continuing a legacy defined by powerful partnerships and a commitment to meaningful progress across the industry.
“RISE is creating the momentum our industry needs—spaces where professionals can learn boldly and grow into confident leaders,” said Erin Buddie, Amerisure Chief Human Resources Officer. “When we invest in people early and consistently, we strengthen the entire ecosystem—our teams, our partners, and the communities we serve.”
