112th Annual Convention Younes Center Kearney, October 9-11
| "Where Our Paths Meet" Just over 350 IIAN members and company representatives attended IIAN's 112th annual convention held at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney, October 9-11. "It was great to see so many IIAN members from all over Nebraska - especially our 55 young agents," commented Todd Anderson of York, who was elected and installed as IIAN's new president during the convention. "Thanks to Annual Convention committee co-chairs Doug Brummels, and Katie Bohrer, and all of our Convention committee members, for putting together such a fun and educational event."
In addition to great networking at the 50-booth trade fair, and learning from a total of 14 industry experts presenting in three tracks, everyone enjoyed the "Nebraska Strong" silent and live auctions to benefit Big "I" advocacy, and an inspiring dinner performance by motivational artist Sam Glenn.

In Memory of Jay Jacupke
| The Talent NetworkThe Independent Insurance Agents of Nebraska and the IIAN Foundation are working together to: - promote a positive perception of insurance industry careers and the opportunities available in the independent agency system to college administrators and students
- connect college students with independent insurance agencies looking for new talent
- provide scholarship and training opportunities for new talent entering the independent agency system
Over the past year we have communicated with hundreds of college students and professionals, connected students with independent agencies, and developed tools for Big I members to help them with recruiting, hiring, and training new talent for their agencies. Now were expanding our college network statewide and working to get even more member agencies involved in making the connection with students. The TournamentThe tournament was named in memory of Jay Jacupke, CPCU, who was associated with Ellerbrock-Norris Agency in Hastings. Jay served in many association capacities, including Secretary-Treasurer in 1995. Jay lost his heroic battle with cancer in 1996 at the age of 44. Again this year all proceeds will benefit the Talent Network program. Money raised will go toward program development and scholarships. Without this effort, the impact will be felt throughout the industry and those who work for and through the insurance world.

economy each year. In fact, insurance is one of our states leading export
products. We are all enriched by the economic impact of the insurance industry. Were calling on current leaders like you, who have built successful careers in the industry, to join the effort. With your help, we can offer competitive education and scholarship opportunities, so your future employees, colleagues and successors are the very best they can be.
