Regional Ambassadors & Representation
Representing – Advocating – Promoting the interests of young BIBA members
BIBA Young Broker Ambassadors (YBAs) — one per region — help liaise with young brokers in their area, bring forward feedback, and represent young-member interests within regional committees and BIBA’s national structure. 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
