The last two years have been an exciting time for the Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association’s Career Development Committee. Having grown to more than 60 members, Career Development is now WSIA’s largest committee, working with over 100 universities nationwide to recruit and connect with the industry’s incoming young professionals.

The Career Development Committee’s mission is to create interest in, awareness of, and enthusiasm for careers in the wholesale, specialty and surplus lines industry by connecting WSIA members with students. Its work focuses on educating students about different career options, which educational tracks to follow, and connecting future insurance professionals with experienced mentors in the industry to help guide them.
