My name is Jaemi Moore and I am the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Coordinator at Alliant Insurance Services. While our organization has had a focus on DE&I for some time they made a strategic shift to develop a full DE&I department December of 2021. With a year (almost) under our belt we have been focusing on building out our team to create a broader positive impact for our employees. I am primarily focusing on coordinating our initiatives and streamlining our processes.

Mariana missakian

Inspirational Speaker. Best Selling Author. Doctoral Student. Westford Univeristy

Hello, I am Mariana Missakian, and I am an Amazon Best-Selling author. I am Armenian. I was born in Beirut and moved to Dubai when I was 18. That was 23 years ago. I am a former #bosslady in stilettos. I spent my 20’s and 30’s travelling the world, working for Fortune 500 companies, making great things happen. Now, in my 40’s I make people happen. I initiate conversations that matter - on women, on leadership and on identity - and I provide safe spaces and stages for women and young leaders to trust their voice and believe in their story. In 2021 I published my first book, a satire memoir on identity “That Suburbia Lady”. The book is a collection of 40 short stories, about a full-time mom navigating through the seasons of life to find her identity stripped from job and title.

Andrea Driessen

Wordsmith Amplify, Inc.

I help business owners, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs change the world with their words. Many professionals lack the skills and time to create clear, unified, buyer-directed communications—and showcase their highest value. But you can gain an unfair advantage with what I call Money-Making Messaging—communications that speak directly to the needs of prospects to drive sales. In my spare time, I am a hospice volunteer, and deliver interactive keynotes on “Gracenotes,” AKA eulogies for the living. A voracious reader, I also love to travel, sip cocktails, bike, and unfold into yummy yoga poses. My home base is Seattle, WA.
