The Professional Insurance Agents of New York State said they have given the group's PIANY Presidential Citation to a union official for his work uniting business and labor interests to craft the state's new workers' compensation law.

The award was given to Arthur Wilcox, director for the public employee division of the New York State AFL-CIO, by PIANY immediate past-president David Dickson on Tuesday at the association's annual business meeting.

Mr. Dickson told National Underwriter that Mr. Wilcox received the citation because of his vast knowledge of the workers' comp system in New York and his work with the association and others in hammering out a white paper mapping out reforms that were eventually adopted by the state in March.
