HR Solutions

Summer Internship Program

The purpose of the internship program is to expose students (particularly business, marketing and entrepreneurial business majors in their junior or senior years of college) to careers in independent insurance agencies. The program will also include students at Community Colleges interested in exploring IA careers. 

HR Advisory Services

With over 20 years of HR experience, Brian Lawrence, the director of HR solutions is available to assist members with a range of HR related questions and concerns. This service can be beneficial to smaller agencies who do not have an HR employee on staff or a contract with a third-party HR administrator. HR Advisory Services can help members save time and money by helping with general policy questions, conducting research, providing tools and templates, and recommending best practices.
