SAVE THE DATE!
2020 U.S. Insurance Awards Event | March 12, 2020 | Ziegfeld Ballroom, New York
Nominations will open in October 2019.

The Business Insurance U.S. Insurance Awards recognize excellence in the commercial insurance and risk management sector while also raising money to address the industry’s talent crisis.

Celebrating Today — U.S. Insurance Awards
Launched last year, the awards program highlights exceptional work by insurance professionals working at companies across the commercial insurance industry – from retail brokers to TPAs, insurers, reinsurers and more.

Recognizing that major achievements are seldom the work of individuals working in isolation, the awards honor teams of professionals working on specific projects.

Creating Tomorrow — BI Scholarship
Up to 400,000 insurance jobs will be unfilled in the near future as the current workforce ages. The U.S. Insurance Awards were created to address the industry’s talent crisis by funding the BI Scholarship. This endowment will open new opportunities to provide scholarships, grants, and programming at universities without risk management degree programs, including HBCUs. BI has partnered with The Institutes Griffith Foundation to create our first scholarship opportunity. Learn more about our 2019 scholarship winners and their mentors here.

Donations for the BI Scholarship can be sent to:
Business Insurance, 4343 Old Grand Ave, Suite 110,Gurnee, IL 60031
Please make checks out to “Business Insurance Foundation.”

2019 U.S. Insurance Awards winners will be announced at the live awards event in New York on March 21. The 2019 Crain Lifetime Acheivement Award will be presented and the 2018 Innovation Awards winners will also be recognized at the event.
