HOW HAS BEING INVOLVED IN YOUNG AGENTS OF KANSAS HELPED YOU DEVELOP AS AN INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL?
Haley Marsicek, Cardinal Insurance Services: " Being involved in Young Agents of Kansas has been incredibly valuable for my growth as an insurance professional. It has given me access to mentors, networking opportunities, and leadership experience that I might not have had otherwise.
It has also afforded me the opportunity to attend national conferences and visit with legislators to see firsthand how insurance laws and regulations are shaped. Collaborating with peers from across the state has helped me stay current on industry trends and build the confidence to better serve my clients and community."
Bryce Hundley, Hundley Insurance Services: " From beginning my career in the agency over ten years ago to where I stand today, YAK has played a pivotal role in my professional growth.
