Indiana YAC Again Garners Two Prestigious National Awards!

AwardFor the second consecutive year, the Indiana Young Agents Committee received two national awards of excellence from the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America National Young Agents Committee. The awards were handed out at a ceremony on Friday, September 11,

2009 at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans, LA. The awards that Indiana YAC received were the 2009 Outstanding Young Agents Meeting Award and the 2009 Outstanding Committee Project Award. As was the case last year, Indiana was the only state to receive more than one award – an outstanding achievement considering the number and quality of programs that are being undertaken by YAC groups across the country.

The IIABA National YAC Committee hands out awards annually in five specific categories, as well as awards for the overall outstanding committee and a runner up. Indiana has received a total of 14 national awards of excellence over the last nine years – the most by far of any state, including the Outstanding Committee three times and Runner Up twice.  -Read More-

Indiana YAC Raises $4,000 For Make A Wish Foundation

Indiana YAC raised $4,000 to help send five-year-old Zane Williams and his family to Disney World through the Indiana Make-A-Wish foundation. Indiana YAC “adopted” Zane, who is afflicted with a life-threatening disease called Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy Complex 1 Deficiency, in October 2008 with the goal of raising as much money as possible to fulfill his wish of going to Disney World for Star Wars Weekend. Indiana YAC raised money at each of its events during late 2008, starting with the YAC Booth at the 2008 IIAI State Convention Exhibit Show in November and culminating with a major fundraising push at the 2009 Indiana YAC Conference. This was an excellent project that allowed Indiana YAC and its members and supporters to help a young boy, and his family, who is going through an extremely difficult ordeal.
