The Big "I" National Young Agents Committee (YAC) encourages young agents – those under 40 years of age or with less than 5 years of experience in the industry – to become aware of and get involved in the activities and programs of the association. YAC’s goals include building involvement in and activism for the legislative issues vital to the future of the insurance industry.
InsurPac is the Big “I’s” political action committee (PAC). It is the largest property-casualty insurance industry PAC in the country, and is one of the primary reasons the Big "I" is routinely rated among the most successful lobbying groups in Washington, D.C. In disbursing contributions, InsurPac does not look at party affiliation but supports representatives, senators, and candidates for federal office that have been advocates and supportive of the association’s small business philosophy.
