Young Agents

the next generation of industry leaders

YoungAgents.gifWhat is a Young Agent?

Young agents are insurance professionals under the age of 41 that work with a Big “I” member agency. All company representatives, regardless of age are encouraged to interact with the future leadership of the Big “I” and the insurance world.

What We're Focusing On

IIAV’s young agents have a long tradition of being actively engaged in the association and they are well-known for the energy and enthusiasm they generate.

The purpose of the group goes far beyond just having fun. Our industry is growing and changing rapidly – and within the next few years, as many longtime leaders begin a new phase of life, there is going to be an even greater need for others to step up. While in the early stages of their careers, “young agent” doesn’t fully describe who the people in this group really are.

For the past two years, they’ve focused on four main areas that they hope come to mind when you think of them.

In that same amount of time they’ve done some incredible things. From being the majority in attendance at both the state and national legislative events to raising more than $18,000 for five different service projects they’ve accomplished a lot.

The value of being connected is not easy to measure, but it’s tremendous. By building strong connections, young agents can better understand the industry, the impact of their work, and how to serve their clients. 

IIAV is dedicated to providing Young Agents connections between other agents, agencies, and carriers to help build their knowledge and experience, for whatever the insurance industry might throw at them.
