The Big “I" Diversity Council is pleased to launch its third mentorship group for underrepresented developing agency owners! This six-month program will help you better position your agency for success so that you can both gain and retain appointments with top carriers. 

The program focuses on underrepresented (minority) agency owners that meet the following guidelines

• Current member of any Big “I" state association; 

• Identify as one of the following: racial/ethnic minority, under the age of 42, LGBTQ, OR woman;

• Agency owner for 2 years OR related industry experience;

• Agency's revenue at least 100k
  

During the 6-month mentorship program developing agency owners (mentees) will have two mentors

(1) top carrier representative and (1) out-of-state seasoned agency owner 

Both mentors will individually connect with the developing agency owner for a one-hour monthly call to further discuss the principles outlined in the Right Start Training Series, including:

1. Understanding Your Agency Operating Style

2. Employees, Your Key to Increased Productivity  

3. Preparing for the Company Visit                        

4. Yearly Planning & Agency Goal Setting 

• Must attend one of the scheduled orientation calls.

• Must connect with each mentor (company and agency owner) monthly for one-hour throughout the duration of the program.

• Must complete each of the four Right Start Training Series one-hour presentations throughout the duration of the program.

• Please note: participation in this program does NOT guarantee an appointment with any of the involved carriers.
