Our 2025 Cornhole Tournament with Independent Ins. Agents of Austin was another huge success! We had 24 teams compete for the championship title, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Bass Underwriters went 2 for 2 this year taking both first ?? and second place ??(Hopefully, there’s no tension at the office after that showdown)! Columbia Insurance rounded out the podium in third ??. The big question: Will Bass Underwriters go 3 for 3 next year? We’ll have to wait and see! A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a great time. See you all next year!

Our board members had a fantastic time last night at Mexta, enjoying dinner and great conversation with Chris McClellan from Incline P&C Group! The focus of the evening? How we can support the next generation of risk professionals by sparking interest and providing guidance on career opportunities in the industry. We’re thrilled to partner with Incline, a company that shares our passion for developing future talent and is eager to collaborate with other organizations that champion this initiative. Have ideas on how we can better support students? Reach out to Steven Gantt, MBA, SPHR. We’d love to hear from you!

Join us next week with IIAA for some friendly cornhole competition! ?? What better way to welcome the first day of spring than enjoying the outdoors? ?

Risk managers by day, artists by night! ??? A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Paint & Sip event at Hippo Insurance! After a long day of tackling insurance and risk management, our members traded in spreadsheets for paintbrushes and got creative with their canvases. Sometimes, a little fun and creativity are just what we need! If you missed this one, don’t worry! We’ve got our Cornhole Tournament with IIAA on March 20th! Mark your calendars and get ready for some friendly competition. ???? ???: https://lnkd.in/gpga2d8A
