Young Agent Committee of the Year

Our Impact

Community Focused.

Young Agent Driven.

Chairman's Charity 2026

Our impact extends beyond career development. Each year our Young Agent Chairman selects a Georgia based charity to team up with. Fundraising and joint events occur throughout the year, with the proceeds of our YAC Will Weston IV Golf Tournament being donated.

This year, chairman Wade Henry (Blanton and Griffin) has selected Camp Rock. his incredible organization serves foster and at-risk children through mentorship camps and programs that provide stability, guidance, and a supportive community for kids who need it most.

InVest Program

Invest is a unique national program that educates high school and community college students on insurance, financial services and risk management topics, and encourages them to pursue a variety of careers in the insurance industry.

Throughout the year, Georgia Young Agents actively engage with the Invest program and assist in onboarding programs for Georgia schools. Our fundraising consists of both an Annual Wine Toss and Cornhole Tournament at the IIAG & YAC Annual Conference.
