NATIONAL YAC
SUB-COMMITTEES.

Contribute directly to projects that strengthen the Young Agents network and independent agency system.



Connect & Build for the future.

The national YAC Sub-Committees engage Young Agent volunteers from across the country in shaping future YAC programs and priorities. Involvement in a sub-committee offers a meaningful opportunity to collaborate nationally and contribute directly to projects that strengthen the Young Agents network and the independent agency system.

Sub-committee members will work together to provide insight, feedback, and hands-on support for national initiatives. Participation allows volunteers the opportunity to build leadership skills, expand professional
connections, make a tangible impact on the Young Agents community, and build a talent pipeline for the future of the association.

*Please Note: Volunteers may not serve on more than one sub-committee at a time.

.

It Takes Commitment.

All sub-committee meetings are conducted virtually. Pre-meeting materials and follow-up items will all be shared via email. It is the responsibility of the sub-committee member to ensure they are reviewing content between all calls. If a sub-committee member misses more than three (3) calls, they will meet with the Young Agents Liaison to discuss service on the sub-committee.

Composition

Two members of the National YAC will facilitate each sub-committee with four (4) volunteer members.

Terms

Sub-committee members will serve a two-year term, beginning January 1, 2026 and concluding December 31.
At the end of the term, members will roll off the sub-committee to allow new Young Agents the opportunity
to participate.

Selection

The National YAC will review all sub-committee applications. Members will be selected and notified before the end of 2025. All applicants will receive communication regarding their application status, including whether they are selected to serve on a sub-committee.
