These are the people who are working in carriers, agencies, vendors, user groups and as industry thought leaders to help advance processes and technologies to make things more efficient, more effective and better for agents.

Unsung Heroes

Thanks to the people involved in AUGIE and the time they volunteer, we meet many unsung heroes who work very hard, some in the spotlight, and many others in the background, to further the cause of independent agents. Each year AUGIE Group recognizes the people who are working in carriers, agencies, vendors, user groups and as industry thought leaders who help advance processes and technologies to make things more efficient, more effective and better for agents, or the other organizations, carriers, solution providers, and others who have focused resources to support AUGIE Group initiatives.
