2010 Indiana YAC Conference Recap

“We would like to thank all of our speakers and their sponsoring organizations for providing interesting and practical information to the conference attendees through their continuing education courses,” said incoming 2010-2011 Indiana YAC Chair Addie Wood from Smith Sawyer Smith in Rochester.  “We try to provide as many networking opportunities as possible with our events, but continuing education is the centerpiece of our YAC Conference every year.”  

The 2010 Indiana YAC Conference also provided a number of networking events designed to bring together agents and company personnel to interact in an informal and fun atmosphere.  The events included the annual YAC Spring Golf Outing, which was held at Potttawatomie Country Club in Michigan City; an ‘80’s Party with the live band ‘80’s Enough and a costume contest; as well as a luau complete with a steel drum player on the chilly shores of Lake Michigan.  -Read More-
