As the sun rose over our office on July 17th we just knewnit was going to be an very special day. Why you might ask? Well, it’s NationalnInsurance Nerd Day of course and while some are offended by the term nerd andnthe connotation of the term our office took the time to embrace our innerninsurance nerds!
For those of you not familiar with our holiday it wasncreated in 2016 to celebrate everyone who is employed by our great insurancenindustry. The recognition this holiday brings our industry is attempting tonchange the image of insurance being a boring career with the long term goal ofnbringing youth into insurance.
A recent study conducted by McKinsey and Co., 25{2bc9627969701bb4ebf443dc9b42267a3e0ee21b32f7076f00452ea26c0738db} ofninsurance processionals will reach retirement by this year. Another study bynGriffith Insurance Education Foundation found that only 5{2bc9627969701bb4ebf443dc9b42267a3e0ee21b32f7076f00452ea26c0738db} of college studentsnwere “very interested” in a career in insurance. Our friends at Pioneer StatenMutual Insurance Company took it upon themselves to launch this campaign tonraise awareness of the great need for youthful talent in insurance. They havendone a phenomenal job of this and we are thrilled to represent this greatnMichigan based company in our office.
