more we can accomplish. This month we welcome a new committee member to the Young Agents, Doug Guilbert from Ocean Point Insurance. We’ve also taken steps to appoint champions with in the committee who will focus on specific projects with in the group. These Champions will focus on Networking Opportunities for Young Agents, Charitable Actions and Social Media. If you are or know of a Young Agent would like to get involved but does not have the time to dedicate to being a full fledged committee member and they may be interested in serving on a sub committee. Please have them contact us. We recognize that success can be measured in many ways, and while we can’t spout lots of big numbers for our membership and participation we know that in time, that will come. Our big goals are long term, most likely fulfilled long after my time is up in Young Agents, but the wheels
are in motion. We have succeeded is in re-forming the group, offering you a different level of education, and a Young Agents Group with a renewed focus. We’ve offered opportunities for networking with other Young Agents, Agency Principals, Company representatives, and IIARI staff and board members. We’ve held an association night to allow you to learn more about IIARI and all of its Key committees and how to get involved. We’ve set a standard for frequent communication and offered Agent round tables to provide a place for coverage or industry discussions. We value and request your input. We want to offer you more, to be where you are and be what you need. And with the proper mindset in place, the steps that we have already taken, and the plans that are in the works I see only good things ahead. Now is the time to support and get involved with the Rhode Island Young Agents. We really are more than Just the next generation.
