MIAMI/DADE COUNTY YOUNG AGENTS

More than 40 property and casualty producers, company representatives, association members, and life and health representatives attended a recent party in Coral Gables at which everyone celebrated the formation of the Young Agents Committee of the Independent Insurance Agents of Dade County. The committee was formed to give young insurance professionals in Miami-Dade County the opportunity to network, socialize and get involved.

The effort to revitalize YAC was launched earlier this year by Mike Keeby. The IIADC had a Young Agents group in the mid-80s and early-90s. Several members of IIADC’s current board were active in that effort and suggested YAC’s reestablishment.

Phil Yanan, an IIACE board member, with Wilson, Washburn & Forster Insurance, was selected by the board to lead YAC.
