Annual LEA Charity Golf Outing
“Insurance isn’t just about reacting to losses—it’s about mitigating risk before it happens. By supporting Mote, we help maintain and restore reefs and coastal habitats that act as nature’s first line of defense, reducing damage to coastal properties and, in turn, helping insurers manage claims and premiums.”“ Our industry depends on accurate data to price and manage risk. Mote’s research on water levels, reef health, and shoreline stability around the world gives insurers actionable insights. Donations support this work, helping us anticipate exposures, refine models, and improve decision-making.” “Supporting Mote isn’t just philanthropy—it’s strategic. By contributing, insurers reinforce community resilience, demonstrate ESG leadership, and help protect coastal properties that are critical to our portfolios. It’s a tangible way to align CSR with risk management.”
