There is not much debate in the Surplus Lines industry about the importance of recruiting and developing new talent into the ranks. Those in the industry mostly agree that it’s a pressing need, and one that is likely to become increasingly important in coming years.
Most also agree that it’s a challenge that has to be tackled head-on and with persistence and creativity to attract the attention of today’s college students. The question of how to not only recruit and train the next generation of leaders but also how to help them leverage their potential are mounting concerns for many NAPSLO-member firms.
During the past year, NAPSLO has begun to increase its focus on these needs, and one result has been the realignment of two of the Association’s committees. In late 2015, a decision was made by the NAPSLO Board of Directors to separate the work of the Career Development and Next Generation Committee, and the Internship Committee. This group of volunteers had traditionally led the effort both in reaching out to prospective students around the country about careers in E&S and recruiting them to NAPSLO summer internships.
