MTSU Risk Management 39th Annual Golf Tournament

Insurors is very grateful to have been able to be part of the golf tournament in April to support the Risk Management Program at MTSU. Students from the Gamma Iota Sigma society were welcoming and helpful to all attendees and made sure all participants were enjoying their day on the course at College Grove. We were also delighted to see our members from Amwins and Erie out and supporting the students while letting them know about the many opportunities available with them. Once attendees were checked in we were served lunch while getting to network with the students and other industry professionals. After lunch, attendees gathered on the golf carts to hear a few words from MTSU Risk Management Program Director, Dave Wood. We greatly appreciate how the teams were created to allow student and industry professionals to network and ask questions about future opportunities. It was a beautiful day and we look forward to supporting the next tournament!

BBSi Young Agents TopGolf Networking Event

This May was the second year that BBSi graciously hosted our Young Agents at a TopGolf networking event. We were happy to see some returning faces from last year’s event and some folks who were brand new to our industry. This event kicked off with some food, drinks, and roundtable discussions. Afterwards, everyone was able to enjoy a relaxing evening networking and practicing their drives. Insurors would like to offer a special thanks to BBSi for constantly striving to uplift and grow our Tennessee Young Agents. If you would like to stay updated on when the next young agents networking event will occur, be sure to join our Linkedin group!
