Young Broker of the Year
The Young Broker of the Year Award recognises young brokers for their excellent performance and contribution to broking and aims to encourage commitment to the future professionalism of the insurance industry.
Regional Ambassadors
Representing – Advocating – Promoting the interests of young BIBA members
BIBA has Young Broker Ambassadors (YBA), who will play a key part in our regional committees. Each YBA has responsibility to oversee and manage, where appropriate, liaising with other young brokers within the region and provide feed back to the Regional Committee and the BIBA central team on all issues and successes involving young brokers.
BIBA also has a formal National Young Broker Committee. Each region has in place a Young Broker Ambassador (YBA) who will play a role within our regional committees as well as feeding into the main BIBA Board, to represent young brokers across the country.
Each YBA will, with support from BIBA:
- Participate – in the regional committee and attend all meetings where possible
- Outreach – obtain the full contact details of all young members within the region and provide the details to the membership team
- Feedback – on ideas/successes/failures and issues affecting young brokers
- Assist – both BIBA and other stakeholders in the promotion of working within the Insurance Broking Industry
- Create – a regional channel for young brokers views to be fed into BIBA’s governance structure
- Promote – BIBA’s key messages and benefits for younger brokers
Young Brokers – Keep up to Date
For young brokers building a career in insurance it may sometimes be difficult to have your voice heard and your ideas taken forward but rest assured BIBA wants to support and develop new talent and reward initiative.
To keep yourselves updated with what is happening for young brokers in the industry, make sure you check our calendar of events and are registered to receive our communications.
“Working closely with BIBA and representing them as their Young Broker Ambassador for the London and South-East Regions, has opened many doors for me. I have been able to gain access to important contacts, broaden my knowledge of the market, and most importantly gain confidence, which in turn has greatly helped with my day-to-day role.”
