Young Agents Network
The purpose of the Big I Illinois Young Agents Network (YAN) is to encourage younger professionals, and those new to the business, to become engaged in and aware of all aspects of the insurance industry. The YA network fosters talent, promotes education and provides opportunities for growth to future industry leaders.
The Illinois Young Agents Committee (YAC) encourages young insurance professionals, licensed or not, who have been in the business less than 5 years or are under the age of 41, to join the network.

Attending Big I events and getting involved in industry activities has been incredibly beneficial for our young employees. These opportunities not only enhance their professional growth but also foster a sense of community and belonging. Encouraging our young agents to participate has proven to be invaluable, and I highly recommend it to other agency owners looking to invest in their future leaders.
