YOUNG BROKERS LEARN TO TACKLE TODAY'S HARD MARKET BY ERIN HOUGH, OFFICE & MARKETING ASSISTANT, IBAO WWW.IBAO.ORG 21 E very June, young brokers from across the province gather in Niagara Falls to sharpen their skills and delve deeper into the industry's hot topics. At this year's YBC Conference, we continued popular traditions and created a few new ones. Every YBC Conference over the past thirteen years, Travelers Canada has sponsored the Opening Night Party. "I enjoyed speed networking on Opening Night," said returning broker Andrew Harden of Lackner McLennan Insurance. "It was a great way to branch out and meet new people right off the bat." Jennifer Rochefort, Senior Business Development Manager at Travelers, explains why they've been lead sponsor all these years: "That's easy-we know of no other forum that allows us to connect with so many up and coming young insurance professionals and have fun at the same time."
