Education, Networking, and Advocacy.
These are the cornerstone of NetVU’s mission!
NetVU is a unique organization because its very foundation—as well as its reason for being—is insurance agents volunteering to help their fellow agents. NetVU was created by independent insurance agents to help their fellow Vertafore system users run and grow their agencies in a more efficient manner through business technology. NetVU’s success is driven by volunteer members and talented NetVU staff who believe that these efficiencies can best be achieved through collaboration with each other, with Vertafore, with our insurance carriers, and with other industry vendors and groups. We all are born wanting to make a difference and to impact the world in some positive way. NetVU’s past leadership and all the thousands of volunteers who have come together within NetVU have made that kind of difference. Their commitment, their guidance and their passion have made the industry stronger, have made independent agents more successful, and have empowered tens of thousands of users throughout the country. NetVU’s thriving, successful membership is the legacy of NetVU’s volunteers—and the insurance industry is much better because they took the time to make a difference. It is with great pleasure that we kick off our newest search engagement to find the Executive Director for NetVU. Position is located in Irving (Dallas), Texas, and local candidates are preferred.
