His accomplishments include achieving best customer satisfaction on record, best average outage duration on record, and constructing a $43 million state of the art training center. Mr. Brookins was selected to the Chicago Defender’s 2016 Men of Excellence and Chicago United’s 2011 Business Leaders of Color.

In 2008, Brookins was selected by the editors of DiversityMBA magazine as among the Top 100 Executives under 50. He also was recognized by Who’s Who in Black Chicago in 2006, 2007, and 2010.
Jacob Plummer ’96 has served the IMSA Fund Board since 2013, currently holding the role of President. Mr. Plummer recently joined Ada Health after five years leading client success teams at Datavant, where he played a critical role in helping global life sciences companies and U.S. health plans unlock insights from connected health data. Prior to Datavant, Jacob served as the CEO at HealthDataLink until its acquisition, and at Allscripts, where he led health system sales across the U.S. and the Middle East. In his new role, Jacob is expanding Ada’s smart patient routing solutions, which use artificial intelligence to improve care delivery for some of the world’s largest health systems.
Thank you both for your dedication to IMSA and the faculty, students, and other curious minds we serve. You will be missed!
