Florida InVEST

The specific FAIA charge for our InVEST Task Force is to perpetuate and expand the current InVEST programs in high schools and community colleges to facilitate recruiting future employees for our agency members. For the 2013–2014 year, we focused on volunteers, program enhancements, and insurance career awareness.

The How• We shared our InVEST stories during FAIA’s annual Convention by

filing the exhibit hall booth with students and volunteers.• We participated in local Insurance board meetings where agents,

company representatives, and volunteer prospects were present. • We hosted many YAC Zone Networking events which included

InVEST students as speakers. These events were attended by agency clients, other industry professionals and state legislators.

• The Young Agents also participated in FSU’s RMI Insurance Days program. This opportunity allowed us to talk with FSU students about becoming involved with InVEST as soon as they are working in the industry.
