The marine insurance industry has created an award to recognize the importance of claims professionals in marine insurance and encourage the development of talented individuals for a rewarding career in the field.
The American Marine Claims Award will be presented annually to a marine insurance person who demonstrates a well-rounded set of skills, knowledge, and a commitment to a career in marine insurance claims through the completion of a rigorous program of comprehensive educational studies.
Insurance professionals living in the U.S. and Canada are eligible for the award through their involvement in American marine claims functions. This may include adjusters, surveyors, attorneys, agents or brokers, risk managers, and underwriters.
"Claims professionals play a critically important role in the marine insurance industry, providing an unparalleled level of service to their companies and customers," says Jim Craig, president of the American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIMU). "The American Marine Claims Award was developed to highlight the contributions of these dedicated people and further enhance the development of their careers."
The winner will receive a cash award, as well as a stipend toward attendance at the International Marine Claims Conference held in Dublin, Ireland.
The award is supported by the following marine insurance associations: the American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIMU), the Inland Marine Underwriters Association (IMUA), the International Marine Claims Conference (IMCC), the Marine and Insurance Claims Association (M.I.C.A.), the Association of Average Adjusters of the United States and Canada and the Marine Claims and Recovery Forum.
