The series, Leadership Perspective: Global Pandemic, is in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic that has disrupted society across the globe.
Focused on the impact of COVID-19 from the perspective of the insurance sector, the weekly series will highlight thought leadership from a wide range of viewpoints on an array of pandemic issues. These issues will span topics such as wellness and prevention, corporate response and reputational management, underwriting exposures, and investment portfolio management.

As a fundamental pillar of society, the insurance industry's response to this challenge is critical to mitigating loss and supporting recovery. The neutral platform and convening power of the IIS, comprising all stakeholders of the insurance industry, uniquely positions it as a unique platform to deliver expert guidance that will inform our industry leaders' decisions in the coming weeks and months. We are pleased to begin this series with expert insight from Dr. Oz and Sharecare's Jeff Arnold, leading voices in the healthcare space," said Mike Morrissey, CEO of IIS.
