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

NU will spotlight three organizations for their outstanding approach to workers' comp risk mitigation. Last year's winners were 2008 Champion Service Master, along with Honorable Mentions Walt Disney Company and Select Staffing.

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).

A representative from the risk management departments of the three winning companies will win a trip to Orlando to attend the WCEC from Aug. 16-19. The risk management programs of all three will be individually profiled in the Aug. 17 edition of NU.

The winners will also share the secrets of their success at a special "NU Roundtable" during the WCEC on Aug. 18, with highlights printed in our Oct. 19 edition.

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

In addition, agents and brokers as well as insurance carriers are welcome to nominate worthy candidates for the award, with outside nominations due by April 7. A third-party nomination is not required, however, for a firm to enter their program.

For more details and to access the entry form, go to www.propertyandcasualtyinsurancenews.com and click on the accompanying icon at the bottom of the NU home page. The entry form appears below the Web version of this story as an "Associated Image."
