In addition to learning and networking opportunities, attendees will also have the chance to give back to the local community through the Hi-Five Kids Pack Program by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

Conference participants will help create food packs with a variety of kid-friendly, shelf-stable items. Verisk Health anticipates the preparation of 2,000 food packs for the community.

“Supporting the local community is extremely important to the Verisk Health team and a vital part of our company ethos,” said Portice. “We’re honored to participate in the Hi-Five Kids Pack Program and look forward to meeting our goal of preparing 2,000 packs for children in the Central Florida region.”
