Top 6 Reasons to Join the Young Agents Network

The Young Agents Network is open to everyone, not only agents, and is free to join.

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.
