National Underwriter is seeking entries for its fifth annual “Award For Excellence In Workers' Compensation Risk Management,” sponsored by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

The NU award program will spotlight three organizations for their outstanding approach to workers' comp risk mitigation.

Last year's winners were 2010 champion American Electric Power Co., along with Nissan North America and Flextronics, which won honorable mentions.

All three 2010 winners will share the secrets of their success during the Risk and Insurance Management Society's annual conference—on Tuesday, May 3, 9:00-10:30 a.m. in Vancouver, in a session titled “Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management.”

Prior winners were 2009 champion Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, along with Snap-on and INTEGRIS Health, which won honorable mentions.

The NU award program is run in cooperation with the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (at which NU presents a National Trends program) and the Florida Workers' Compensation Institute (which manages the annual WCEC event).

• The risk-management programs of all three winners will be individually profiled in the Aug. 22-29 edition of NU.

• A representative from the risk-management department of each of the three winning firms will be flown to Orlando to attend the WCEC from Aug. 21-24, where they will receive their award during the Opening General Session.

• The winners will discuss their approaches at a special “NU Roundtable” at the WCEC on Aug. 23, with highlights printed in our Oct. 17 edition.

Risk managers are invited to submit their own programs for consideration by May 11.
