Following in their parent organizations’ footsteps, effective Aug. 1st, the AAMGA Under Forty Organization (UFO) and NAPSLO’s Next Generation initiative have merged to form WSIA’s U40. This new group continues to give young insurance professionals an opportunity to network, learn and exchange ideas with one another and with WSIA’s broader membership.

Under the leadership of Chris Peterson, president, and Josh Ammons, vice president, the group is energized and eager to launch the U40 group as part of the WSIA 2017 Annual Marketplace.

“There are lots of synergies and shared goals between the two groups,” says Peterson, vice president of the Chris-Leef General Agency Inc. in Shawnee, Kan. Peterson was involved with AAMGA’s Under Forty Organization (UFO) for about eight years and most recently served as its president.
