Operations Committee

One of the many assets the Association has is its meetings. Members and industry business partners appreciate the world-class venues and professionally managed meetings in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to combining the fostering of business and personal relationships, with having access to world and industry leaders. The Association’s yearly meetings include the:

  • Annual Meeting: May
  • Committee Day & Business Planning Sessions: June
  • Under Forty Organization Annual Meeting: September
  • Mid Year Insurance and Legislative Roundtable Meeting: November
  • Insurance Automation & Agency Management Conference: February

In addition, the AAMGA University conducts over 40 continuing education and professional development classes annually.

The Operations Committee works with the AAMGA staff to coordinate venues, speakers, receptions, programs and the Insurance Master Calendar, which contains the dates and information on a variety of meetings of interest to industry, markets and others in the insurance profession.
