YAT Advisor Ambassador Program Graduates

Written by Zack Huels | 3/7/24 11:43 PM

In February, we officially kicked off 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 35 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, Ryan Jewell of NAIFA-Washington, John Hansbrough of NAIFA-California, and Joe Templin of NAIFA-New York for leading these sessions with these advisors and providing them with excellent sales and marketing ideas to improve their growing careers.

Adam Youngman, a participant from NAIFA-Georgia, had this to say about the opportunity:

"Participating in the YAT Advisor Ambassador Program was an excellent contribution towards my development as a young advisor. This experience provides the opportunity to explore how some of the best in the industry organize their yearly business plan, marketing strategies, introductions language, and much more. Advisors will walk away with easy, effective strategies they can implement into their practice immediately." 

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

Adam Youngman, NAIFA-Georgia

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.
