Who Is A Young Agent?

A Young Agent is anyone who has worked in the insurance industry less than five years or who is under age 40.  A young agent" does not have to be a licensed insurance agent.  The committee shall consist of no more than 30 members including a chairperson, co-chair & past chair.  Of the 30 total members, no more than 10 insurance company representatives are eligible for membership on the committee.  Before a member can be elected to the position of co-chair, the member must have served as a committee member for two years.  If there is no member who qualifies as co-chair, the chairperson will appoint a co-chair.  Company representatives may not serve as chairperson.  The past chair will remain on the committee for an additional year and may continue thereafter until he/she no longer meets the qualifications of a young agent.  A committee member may not have more than two unexcused meeting absences per year.  The absence must be reported to the YAC staff liaison prior to the meeting.  More than two unexcused absences will be grounds for dismissal.  The staff liaison will notify members of committee meetings.
