Young Pooling Professionals (YPP) is an exclusive networking group for NLC-RISC members! We are dedicated to identifying, educating, and networking with the next generation of pooling leaders.
For many young staff in pooling organizations, this might be their first or second job out of college. Some are learning the insurance industry for the first time, while others are transitioning from the commercial insurance. Combine these factors with a virtual work environment, and numerous young professionals are missing out on the organic networking opportunities their peers had before the pandemic.
Led by Erin Peterson and Lena Scarpulla of the RISC Team along with an advisory group of younger pooling professionals, the formation of this group seeks to achieve the following goals:
- Identify up-and-coming leaders within the pooling community.
- Educate this network of young professionals via leadership programming offered by peers in the pooling industry.
- Networking opportunities for the group via online communities, in-person events at regional meetings and conferences, and special events throughout the year.
The ideal participant in this group will be 40 & under with less than five years of experience in the pooling industry. However, participants will self-select into the group (i.e. we won’t turn someone away who is in their 40s and brand new to pooling.) If you are interested in connecting with your younger professional colleagues in the pooling community, please complete this intake form.
We are accepting participants from ALL risk pool departments, including but not limited to underwriting, claims, loss control/risk management, marketing, administration/operations, legal, finance, and human resources.
