Young Agent Committee of the Year

Our Impact

Community Focused.

Young Agent Driven.

Chairman's Charity 2027

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 Connor Thorn (McGriff- Marsh McClennan Agency) has selected Java Joy by Extra Special People (ESP) as YAC’s charity. Through Java Joy, ESP creates meaningful opportunities for people of all abilities to connect, engage, and spread unmatched joy in their communities.

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.
