Who we are

Young Agents are insurance professionals under the age of 41 who work with a Big
“I” member agency.

All company representatives, regardless of age, are encouraged to interact with the future leadership of the insurance industry!

What We do

IIAV’s Young Agents are known for their energy, engagement, and commitment to the future of the insurance industry. While many are early in their careers, they are already stepping into leadership roles as our industry continues to evolve.

Focused on four key pillars, this group is dedicated to advocacy, professional growth, and service. In just the past two years, they have represented the majority of attendees at state and national legislative events and raised more than $18,000 for five community service projects.

Their impact is clear — they are helping shape the future of IIAV and the independent insurance industry.

Young Agents Conference

IIAV’s Young Agents Committee host an annual conference specifically for young insurance agents. This event allows agents to network, gain confidence, and learn with other professionals in the industry
