Young Agents Committee (YAC)

Thinking about joining in MAIA’s Young Agent Activities but wondering:

What is their purpose?

The MAIA Young Agents Committee (YAC) operates as a volunteer committee and encourages young insurance professionals to expand their industry knowledge and network while increasing involvement and awareness of MAIA's advocacy initiatives, products, and services.

Do I qualify to join in the activities the committee is putting on?

To quality to be a ‘Young Agent’, you have to be a member of the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA),  have worked in the insurance industry for less than five (5) years OR are 40 years of age or younger.  A “young agent” does not have to be a licensed producer.  (Some YAC events are open to everyone as well, like the golf tournament.)

What if I have questions, or How do I join so I can get notifications of the Young Agents events?

Please contact Heather Kramer.
