Celebrate Military Appreciation Month

May is Military Appreciation Month, and we're proud to stand behind those who serve our country by supporting their transition from honorable service to a career in the independent agency channel.

The Big “I" Diversity Council has partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program to create an insurance fellowship program to connect the military community with agencies, fostering economic opportunity and a robust, diverse workforce. The fellowship program will place service members who are transitioning out of the military into jobs in independent insurance agencies during the last three months of their service.

The Big “I" Diversity Council is piloting the program with Big I North Carolina and Big I Kentucky. We're collaborating with state associations, education leaders, and InsurAcademy to develop a fellowship roadmap guide to help service members get licensed, as well as help agencies in creating a fulfilling career path for transitioning service members. With HOH providing thousands of qualified applicants to choose from, agencies can find the right fit for their teams. Learn more about the program on the Big “I" Diversity webpage.

Additionally, to honor and spotlight veteran agents, the Big “I" Diversity Council is seeking participation from agents who served in the military and are willing to showcase their career journeys.

If you're a veteran agent interested in participating in a panel discussion or sharing a testimonial with service members interested in pursuing a career as an agent, please contact Anitra Rivera to share your contact information.
