IIAT is proud to announce Jorge “JD” Delgado of Delgado Insurance Agency in Laredo as the 2026 ELITExan Young Agent of the Year.
Delgado was recognized during IIAT’s Industry Excellence Awards Luncheon at INSURCON on June 16 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country.
Each year, the ELITExan of the Year Award gives IIAT the opportunity to recognize a young insurance professional whose service, leadership and commitment reflect the best of the independent agency system. The award is not simply about what someone has accomplished in the past year. It honors a young professional who has already made an exceptional impact at this stage in their career and is helping shape the future of the industry.
Delgado is a strong example of what this award represents.
Through his work at Delgado Insurance Agency and his involvement in the industry, JD has demonstrated what it means to lead with purpose, serve with consistency and strengthen the future of independent insurance in Texas. According to his colleagues, he is an exceptional leader who goes beyond what is expected to make the industry and his community stronger.
JD’s recognition is a reminder of the importance of investing in the next generation of agency leaders. The future of the independent agency system depends on professionals who are willing to step forward, build relationships, serve their communities, and carry the values of independence, integrity, and service into the years ahead.
Please join us in congratulating JD on being named the 2026 ELITExan Young Agent of the Year!
