HOw to Nominate a rising star candidate

---

I am the Rising Star Award chair and this award is graciously sponsored again by Steamatic Canada. As being a past recipient of this prestigious award, I feel so humbled to be the 2025 chair.  Standing in the footsteps of other amazing recipients past and present such a great way to recognize an individual of your Association. Last year we had many outstanding nominations and Jason Court, CIP was the 2024 receipient. Congratulations to all past and present recipients and nominees. This year we would love to see a nomination from each association.

This award is to honor our upcoming bright future members under the age of 40 to motivate and assist with their professional development. This award speaks to the recipient’s commitment and involvement in their employment, community, and the insurance industry while displaying their professionalism, leadership, and personal influence. The award recipient need not have held Office to be considered by their Association.  

There are so many amazing individuals that are a part of CAIW, take some time to acknowledge their wonderful efforts. We have so many shining stars, let’s hear about them, nominate one today!

Submissions can be sent to me by email outlining the nominees professional and personal accomplishments along with a letter of support from their employer, a peer, or fellow association member(s).

If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. The rules are attached and nominations are to be submitted to me no later than MARCH 31, 2025.
