                        TRIBUTE TO TODD JACKSON

  Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate a fellow 
Hoosier, Mr. Todd Jackson, as he nears the end of his term as the 119th 
chairman of the Nation's largest insurance association, the Independent 
Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, also known as the Big ``I''. 
Todd was elected to the Big ``I'' Executive Committee in 2018 and was 
installed as the association's chairman last September in Indianapolis.
  A graduate of Indiana University, Todd is currently the owner and 
partner of McGowan Insurance Group in Indianapolis. Starting out at his 
family's agency in 1989, Todd has over three decades of experience in 
the insurance industry and has been a prominent volunteer leader with 
the Big ``I'' at the State and national level. He served on Big ``I'' 
Indiana's board of directors and executive committee before becoming 
State president in 2013. He also represented Indiana on the national 
Big ``I'' Board of Directors for 4 years, served on the trusted choice 
board and the finance committee, and was elected to the national 
executive committee in 2018.
  During his term as Big ``I'' chairman, Todd has focused on enhancing 
operational efficiencies and streamlining resources to better serve 
independent agencies nationwide. He has traveled the country with that 
mission in mind, visiting with agents, brokers, State association 
staff, and other industry representatives in virtually every State. He 
has been a steady leader and strong advocate for independent agents and 
the communities and consumers they represent.
  I would like to recognize Todd for his work with the Big ``I'' over 
the years and his commitment to his profession and his community. The 
State of Indiana is proud of Todd and wishes him and his wife Theresa 
well following his successful term as chairman of the Big ``I''.
