National Underwriter has extended until June 9 the entry deadline for the second annual “NU Award For Excellence In Workers' Compensation Risk Management,” sponsored by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.
Risk managers with the most effective and innovative safety and return-to-work programs are encouraged to submit their programs for consideration.
Brokers, insurers and third-party administrators may also nominate worthy risk managers for consideration no later than May 8, who would then be contacted and invited to enter. However, risk managers need not be nominated by a third party to enter the award program.
Three finalists will receive:
o A free trip to Orlando!
A representative from the risk management departments of three company finalists will be flown to Orlando to attend the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference from Aug. 17-20, where the 2008 Champion will receive a trophy, while the other two finalists are given plaques for an Honorable Mention.
o Profiles in NU!
The risk management programs of all three finalists will be individually profiled in the Aug. 18 edition of NU.
o Additional exposure!
The finalists will also discuss the risk management challenges facing buyers at a special “NU Roundtable” during the WCEC on Aug. 19, with highlights printed in our Oct. 6 edition.
The NU award program, sponsored by NCCI, is run in cooperation with the WCEC (at which NU presents a National Trends program) and the Florida Workers' Compensation Institute (which manages the annual WCEC event).
