Chairman's Message

RECRUITMENT & RETENTION

Late spring brings internships, graduations, and fresh starts – making it the perfect time to focus on the next generation of insurance professionals.

The May issue of Primary Agent magazine is timely. You’ll find an interview with IA&B Member Julie Webb, who discusses her commitment to foster new talent. Plus, IA&B HR Consultant Karen DiGioia penned a feature article on employee retention.

This month also marks the spring IA&B Board of Directors meeting, where we will revisit the organization’s new strategic plan, which emphasizes the recruitment and training of new industry talent. You can expect to hear more about this in the months ahead as IA&B fleshes out and begins to implement the plan.

While our industry’s perpetuation challenge is great, the strength of our collective effort is greater. There are exciting opportunities on the horizon. Stay tuned!

Until next time,

Richard M. Rankin, Chairman of the Board
