Emerging Leaders

Nevada Young Agents are now the Emerging Leaders. This is a network of young energized insurance professionals actively engaged in the industry affairs in Nevada. We work to advance the careers of our members and to promote issues important to our industry. We hold a variety of events throughout the year, providing our members with education and networking opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere.

We develop relationships with industry leaders and learn valuable interpersonal and leadership skills to enhance careers.

"Young Agents are the lifeline of the independent agency system and will write out next exciting chapter" Bob Rusbuldt, Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, President and CEO.

Our very own Jana Foster, current National Young Agents Chair, NIIA Board member and prior Nevada Emerging Leaders Chair was awarded the InsurPac Young Agent of the Year during the 2020 Big “I" Legislative Conference. Congratulations Jana!

We had a successful Make A Wish Virtual Walk on August 1^st, generating a little over $1,000 in a very short time frame. Thank you to our generous donors, Steve Hardy/Capital Premium Financing, Lori Oakden–Binder/ICW Group, Jeff Schaefer/A&H Insurance, Codie Lewis/AmWins, Eddie Aguilar/Wilkins & Associates, Susan Bauman/NIIA and Adam Heuer/Heuer Insurance Agency.

We are currently working with both the Las Vegas and Northern Nevada Make A Wish Chapters along with Trusted Choice to fund Wish Grants for several Wish Kids. Hopefully, we can grant some wishes to these kids in the near future.

Nevada Emerging Leaders exceeded our 2019 InsurPac goals again this year helping Nevada achieve the InsurPac Eagle award.

The pandemic has pushed our Committee to move our monthly meetings to Zoom video conferencing. It was great to see our members during our last meeting. For information regarding upcoming meetings and events feel free to contact me.

I am hopeful that we can resume our Events, Meetings, and Socials soon. Until that time we will adjust our events with social distancing in mind and plan for events in the not so distant future that do not have these requirements.

Jared Wilkins, ELC Chairman
