In April, we continued our relaunch of the Award-Winning YAT Advisor Ambassador Program. The YAT Advisor Ambassador Program is a class designed specifically for younger advisors (those under 40 and relatively new to the business).

A class of 22 young advisors came together and participated in group discussions on topics such as prospecting, networking, and brand amplification. These sessions focused on peer-to-peer learning and gave these advisors transferable ideas to start using in their careers immediately.

We would like to give a special thanks to Brian Haney of NAIFA - Washington, DC, Carina Hatfield of NAIFA - Pennsylvania, John Hansbrough of NAIFA - California, and Marques Ogden of NAIFA - North Carolina for leading these sessions with these advisors and providing them with excellent sales and marketing ideas to improve their growing careers.

Congratulations to the following participants for completing the entire course and earning their certificates:

Aaron Sloan (NAIFA - Missouri)
Bambi Kautz (NAIFA - Montana)
Brittany Hellman (NAIFA - Montana)
Bryan Zic (NAIFA - Illinois)
Catrina Romo (NAIFA - New York)
Chip Hais (NAIFA - Ohio)
Emily Miller (NAIFA - Tennessee)
Michael Deschenes (NAIFA - Missouri)
Ryan Rundle (NAIFA - Texas)
Milorad Markovic (NAIFA - Illinois)
Tiffani McHaskell (NAIFA - Illinois)
David Perrotto (NAIFA - New York)
Brandon Van Nevel (NAIFA - Iowa)

The next classes will be held in June on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. Eastern. Registration for those classes are now open here: YAT Advisor Ambassador Registration.

We hope to see many more young advisors go through this program over the course of 2024 to not only grow as a professional, but as a leader as well.
