The Big I Illinois Young Agents Network (YAN) connects young and early-career insurance professionals through education, networking opportunities, and leadership development. By joining, you’ll gain access to our online community and receive YAN-specific updates, events, and resources through the newsletter, YAC Chat.

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.
