As a Young Agent, InVEST needs your help to attract young people to the industry and enlighten them about the rewarding careers within the industry.
Each year, the Big “I” national Young Agents Committee (YAC) presents awards to state young agent committees for their efforts in membership development, communications, meetings, state committee projects, political involvement, InVEST and the outstanding committee of the year. The Outstanding InVEST Supporter award will be presented to the state committee that best promotes young agent involvement in InVEST.
If your Young Agent group is interested in getting involved with InVEST but don't know where to start, or what exactly the program entails we have a recorded webinar or contact us. Below are some suggestions of ways your group can get involved:
