Hear What Our Members Have to Say
I love being a member of RISE because not only do I get to network and bounce ideas around with other insurance nerds (trust me there is a community for everyone), I actually get to partner with folks equally dedicated to ensuring the industry we love is a fair and equitable place for rising talent. We get to be both mentors and mentees with and to industry superstars while working in an environment where everyone’s ideas are celebrated. I found my tribe within RISE.
“I’ve been a RISE member since 2020, and it has helped me take my career to the next level! It's an incredible national organization with free resources such as webinars, book clubs, podcasts, and various virtual networking opportunities. Getting involved with the committees is a fantastic way to build new connections with rising leaders from across the country and give back to the RISE community. One of my favorite resources is the Elite 50 Internships which is an annual list of the top 50 internship programs in our industry – What a wonderful resource for students who are trying to decide where to apply to! I was fortunate to have been nominated & selected as a RISE 2022 Award recipient and enjoyed attending the RISE Leadership Summit, which was one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. The professional development, leadership training, and networking opportunities that RISE provides are unmatched!”
Being a RISE member has allowed me to expand my network, engage with like-minded individuals committed to finding innovative ways to advance the future of the insurance industry, provided me with a platform for mentorship and continued professional development, and allowed me to “pay it forward” and leverage my personal experiences to support the development of the future generation of the insurance industry.
“Getting involved with RISE has helped me to build a diverse network of passionate, young professionals and introduced me to areas of the insurance industry that would have taken years to be exposed to organically.”
Through my RISE membership, I have been able to access and connect to more networks within the insurance industry than I ever have through my tenure at larger brokerages/insurance companies. Through the RISE community, I have made long-lasting friendships and opportunities to participate in conferences and leadership opportunities that were very difficult to reach on my own. I am grateful to be apart of this crew!
