Our Mission

Connecting, Recognizing & Advancing the Next Generation of Insurance Leaders 

Our Vision

To be the most trusted and influential community where insurance professionals grow, lead, and thrive. 

Our Story

The insurance industry is at a crossroads. As Baby Boomers retire and Generation X’s numbers fall short of filling the gap, the need for fresh, dynamic talent has never been greater. Enter Millennials and Gen Z—the future leaders of our industry. But here’s the challenge: many young professionals stumble into insurance “by accident,” with little exposure to the opportunities, connections, or career paths the industry offers.

At the same time, young professionals rarely get access to the spaces that could inspire their careers—like conferences, leadership events, and industry-wide networks. 

We believe that when young professionals see the possibilities this industry offers, they engage. When they’re equipped with the right resources, they grow. And when they’re supported by a powerful network, they lead.

This isn’t just about bridging a talent gap—it’s about creating a brighter future for the entire industry. Together, we’re rising higher.

 That’s why RISE® was created.

RISE® is more than a community; it’s a movement. We’re here to attract, retain, and empower the next generation of insurance professionals. By connecting rising stars across the industry, providing mentorship and education, and offering platforms for recognition and leadership, we’re filling the talent gap and shaping the future of insurance.
