New Inclusive Agency Training Series Coming Soon

The Big “I” Diversity Council is pleased to release a four-part diversity, equity and inclusion training series exclusively for our independent agency leaders. We understand how busy the day in the life of an independent agent is and, for that reason, we have provided various ways you can complete the training series—solo, with your team or with leaders from other agencies. Each module is accessible online and can be printed out as a workbook. Learn more here.
