Last week, the NY-YIP hosted its annual Albany Fall Soiree. This soiree was held in downtown Albany, N.Y., at the City Beer Hall.

At the event, insurance professionals—including NY-YIP Annual Sponsors Mike Skeele from Skeele Agency and Jamie Ferris from PW Wood and Son—had the opportunity to network and enjoy the beer garden’s atmosphere.
Those in attendance made new connections, enjoyed appetizers and drinks, and played a fun game of trivia hosted by former NY-YIP Coordinator Ed DerGurahian. The trivia winners were NY-YIP Directors Manny Midy and Amanda Musico, NY-YIP Secretary Harriet Thomas, and Jack Rapini.
The venue offered a cozy atmosphere for the insurance agents to enjoy. The City Beer Hall is housed within the capital’s historic telephone company building.
Thank you to all attendees for making this event possible. We hope to see you again next year. See photos from the event here.
