From February 1st through 18th, Gamma Iota Sigma's 1800+ student members from 46 active chapters were encouraged to coordinate chapter-specific events for the inaugural GIS Week (or Weeks, this year) of Service. Participants spent the time volunteering, hosting canned food drives, and finding other ways to give back to their communities.

A special thank you to Alyssa Bouchard of Rho Chapter and Mike Kelly of Lambda Chapter, the 2013-14 co-ISRs who worked diligently with the other Chapter Presidents to coordinate an amazing event that demonstrated how committed, active and community-oriented the industry's future leaders are! This month we highlight some of the participating

On Saturday, February 8, 2014, 19 volunteers with Appalachian State's Gamma Iota Sigma Rho Chapter traveled to Winston-Salem, NC to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, which is the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina's Young Agents' selected community service project for the year.

 

The Ronald McDonald House acts as a home away from home for families with children in nearby hospitals for both long and short periods of time. The House provides an inexpensive place to stay and amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, multiple living and play areas, large outside decks full of rocking chairs, and a playground area for children. The GIS group was given a tour of the house followed by our volunteer assignments for the day, which varied from cleaning rooms and bathrooms to carrying gifts over to children in the hospital across the street. This was a rewarding day for our chapter.   

 

As we left the house, our members raved about the wonderful time they had and expressed their desire to return for another day of service!

The Alpha Epsilon chapter at Indiana State University decorated over 100 Valentine's Day cards to be delivered to the residents of a local nursing home!

On Friday, February 7, 2014, while most of the country was blanketed in ice and snow, members of the Beta Beta chapter took advantage of the New Mexico winter and participated in Gamma Iota Sigma's Week of Service by volunteering at Roadrunner Food Bank in Las Cruces, NM. Members took charge of sorting food from 3 industrial size refrigerators and freezers, cleaning and disinfecting the units, and cleaning the facility restrooms. The food bank is the only food supply for other local charities, like women's shelters and the soup kitchen. Local supermarkets and grocers donate food to the highly efficient organization. In fact, they are able to feed 10 people for every $1 that is donated. This just shows how a little help from an organization like Gamma Iota Sigma can go a very long way.

Noelle spoke about the importance of perception, how different generations regard each other, and how her audience should mindfully use luxuries such as technology and social media. Noelle also emphasized how the risk management and insurance industry's looming talent gap presents a great opportunity for eager students who look to join a dynamic practice that is intrinsically important to business continuity and allows its members to touch all aspects of an organization. Her presentation provided a fair share of lighthearted moments such as a short video clip of a fellow Sigma Chapter alumnus impersonating the Sigma Chapter's long-time faculty advisor and Gamma Iota Sigma's Faculty Representative, Dr. R. B. Drennan.

 

The Sigma Chapter was very pleased to listen to Noelle eloquently share about her journey from choosing to pursue the risk profession, to serving as a student leader of Gamma Iota Sigma, to now leading the charge of ensuring the continuity of our industry.

On January 15, St. John's University's School of Risk Management and Insurance hosted the 19^th Annual Insurance Leader of the Year Dinner at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York. This year, Robert H. Benmosche, President and CEO of AIG, was honored as the 2013 Insurance Leader of the Year. Members of the Alpha Iota Chapter were invited by the school to attend this event, giving them a tremendous opportunity to network with industry professionals, whether during the cocktail hour or at the dinner table. Alpha Iota members also met with prospective students and their families, who are invited to attend the dinner so they can get a chance to learn more about the St. John's program from a student's perspective. This dinner is always a special night for all those who attend.
