The Big “I” national Young Agents Committee presented the Outstanding State Liaison of the Year award at the recent Big “I” Young Agents Leadership Institute to Lyra Roberts, E&O program manager of the Independent Insurance Agents of Oklahoma.

“The national Young Agents Committee is pleased to recognize Lyra for her outstanding leadership of the Oklahoma young agents and applaud her efforts to continue making the Big “I” a welcoming place for young independent agents,” say Quincy Branch, Big “I” young agents committee chair and president/CEO Branch Benefits Consultants. 

The award recognizes the contributions of someone who has provided outstanding leadership to their state young agents program. This year’s recipient is recognized by their committee as someone who goes above and beyond to help other succeed. She’s the implementer—one of her recent endeavors is attracting more bright young talent to the industry through InVEST.  

“She puts our ideas into action, making her the backbone of our success. The time and effort Lyra puts into making our vision a reality adds tremendous value to the young agent program in Oklahoma,” says Ryan Teubner, incoming chair, Oklahoma Young Agents Committee and agent with Rich & Cartmill, Inc.
