 Who is a Young Agent?

Young Agents are members of the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA) who have worked in the insurance industry less than FIVE years or who are 40 years of age or younger.  A "young agent" does not have to be a licensed producer. The committee shall consist of no more than 20 members including a chairperson, co-chair, and past chair. Insurance company representatives are eligible for membership on the committee, but may not serve as Chairperson.  LEARN MORE...

Getting Active
First and foremost, stay up to date on committee activities through email, Facebook and LinkedIn and attend the YAC Events. Most events are free of charge and are great opportunities to network with other young agents and company folks. Check out pictures of our Past Events. Make sure you are on our YAC mailing list – email Melissa Murphy.

Become a Committee Member
Each year MAIA’s Young Agent Committee seeks new committee members to join in the planning and direction of the group. Committee members work together and in conjunction with the MAIA staff and company sponsors to create, plan and participate in Young Agent focused events. Many of the events we have had (after-hours networking, golf tournament) have been ideas brought by committee members. Participation as a committee member requires attendance at planning meetings and YAC Events. Committee members are also encouraged to take part in state and national conferences.

Committee Members must be eligible Young Agents. Potential Committee Members will be asked to provide a resume or access to a relevant and updated LinkedIn account, and undergo an interview with a current committee member before being appointed. Newly appointed Committee Members must commit to, at minimum, a one year term and will be asked to sign a Commitment Statement detailing the level of involvement that is expected.
