PYIB

PYIB stands for Professional Young Insurance Brokers, whose mandate is to build a strong, professional young broker network through continuing education, industry involvement and political action. They are a subcommittee of the IBAA, Insurance Brokers Association Of Alberta.

The PYIB helps to create a better awareness of the insurance industry, improves young brokers confidence, and creates a venue for industry peers to meet. I t acts as an introduction for young broker members into the provincial broker association by providing a venue for political involvement and input on the ongoing changes within the industry. The PYIB also helps to tailor education to meet the current needs of young brokers, gets involved with communities at a grassroots level to help strengthen the broker image, and provides a place for young brokers to voice their opinions and help shape the future of their broker industry. 

One of the things they do in the community is raise funds for charity, with things like the PYIB golf tournament held this past weekend at Alberta Springs Golf Resort. With a full slate of golfers on the greens and many organizations and groups pitching in with sponsorships and prizes, including BlueCircle and our subsidiary company, Hole In One Direct, the tournament was a great success, a lot of fun, and raised some money for an awesome organization called KidSport, who help kids whose families cannot afford to enroll them in sports programs.

I had lots of feathered friends hanging around, thanks to this birdhouse and the nice pond on the 12th hole.

In addition to the Hole In One, we had a fun game of "lasso the case' for a chance to win a prize. 

It was a scenic spot to hang out on a beautiful day
