BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

BI extends deadline for 2007 benefit award

Reprints

Business Insurance has extended the deadline for nominations for the 2007 Benefit Manager of the Year®.

The competition seeks to recognize excellence and innovation in benefits management. Any full-time employee of a corporation, nonprofit organization or government entity who oversees or administers benefit functions is eligible.

An independent panel of judges will score nominees on how well he or she:

  • Solved one or more major problems for his or her employer.

  • Innovatively applies benefit programs to his or her organization's needs.

  • Effectively uses benefit programs to help control costs.

  • Exhibits leadership in achieving change within his or her organization.

  • Established an effective system for communicating benefit programs to employees.

  • Skillfully administers benefit programs through application of technology.

  • Develops in his or her career and promotes advancement of the benefits profession.

The value or generosity of specific benefits will not be judged; the award is intended to honor outstanding performance in managing and administering employee benefit programs overall. The highest-scoring candidate, as determined by the judges, will be named Benefit Manager of the Year® and will be profiled in the Sept. 17 issue of BI.

Judges will include representatives of benefit consulting firms, brokerages, health insurers/managed care organizations, benefits industry vendors as well as prior winners of the award.

Candidates may nominate themselves or be nominated by a supervisor, colleague, broker, consultant or service provider, but the nomination must be accompanied by a letter from a superior who is familiar with the candidate's work. The extended deadline for nominations is June 22, 2007.
