o Rolls-Royce North America Inc.--supplier of power systems for the civil and defense aerospace, marine and energy industries, based in Chantilly, Va., represented by Rob Osha, director of insurance-The Americas.

All three company finalists will be profiled in NU's Aug. 13 edition. One will be named 2007's "Champion," with the remaining two awarded for Honorable Mention.

The three will be presented with their awards during the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference, held in Orlando, Fla., from Aug. 12-15, where NU puts on a National Trends program.

The finalists will share the secrets of their success during a panel discussion at the WCEC on Aug. 14.
