The categories are:
- Best admitted property/casualty insurer.

- Best insurance wholesaler.
- Best managed care organization.
- Best property/casualty reinsurer.
- Best reinsurance intermediary.

This year, Business Insurance partnered with Erdos & Morgan Inc., an internationally respected business-to-business market research firm, to devise an electronic ballot and tabulate the results. BI invited readers of the news magazine as well as BusinessInsurance.com to cast their votes on confidential ballots. Balloting closed June 13, and the results were tabulated and analyzed to determine the winners as well as runners-up.
Profiles of the winning com- panies begin on page 12. To view profiles of this year's winners as well as those in the previous Readers Choice Awards competitions, please visit www.BusinessInsurance.com/ReadersChoice.
