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:
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.
