NAPSLO Next Generation

The Career Awareness Committee has been working to actively increase its role in developing and promoting career opportunities aimed at the younger generation. The committee is: working with NAPSLO to create an updated and modern separate career website; organizing the NAPSLO Next Generation group to help develop future industry leaders; and creating a social networking group on Facebook. The committee is also promoting the job portal, where employers can post job openings and potential employees can find and apply to jobs online at jobs.napslo.org.

 

NAPSLO encourages employers to post open positions in their firms.  Potential employees can review jobs posted by NAPSLO member firms, post their resumes; and apply for jobs online. There is no charge for jobseekers to use the system, however, users must register to apply for jobs, or to have their resumes made available to employers. Employers must be members of NAPSLO to post jobs.

 

The NAPSLO Next Generation group is focused on attracting, retaining and developing young talent to the insurance and surplus lines community. The group will provide leadership, industry training, social networking, and other skills necessary for the development and success of young insurance professionals. The group will also provide members a voice within the Association on industry matters.

 

To help promote the group there will be a cocktail reception during the 2009 Annual Convention on Friday, October 9, for networking with the under 40 Next Generation Group. There will also be a program on Saturday, Oct. 10, featuring a panel with the Next Generation of E&S leaders vs. the current generation of leaders.

 

Along with educational conferences and seminars, participants in the Next Generation group will learn new ideas opportunities. Discover what new, young leaders are doing to stand out. For further information about how to join, e-mail Kristen Taylor at ktaylor@usgins.com. The Next Generation offers young insurance professionals a chance to jump start their careers by creating a base of industry contacts, developing important professional skills, and keeping up to date with the latest insurance trends.
