The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) is inviting entries for its Making a Difference recognition awards. 

Insurance professionals are encouraged to enter, or to nominate a peer who has demonstrated outstanding professionalism, commitment, achievement and passion in the insurance industry. Entries are open until August 25. 

The Life category winner is to be announced at the ANZIIF Group Life Seminar on September 5, the Underwriting winner at the UAC Adelaide Expo on September 14 and the Claims winner at the AICLA/ANZIIF Claims Convention on September 28. 

The Reinsurance, General Insurance and Broking winners will be crowned at the ANZIIF General Insurance Breakfast on December 6. 

The awards are part of ANZIIF’s Year of the Insurance Professional initiative and highlight individuals who have gone “above and beyond” to display professionalism. ANZIIF GM Industry Engagement Mark Silveira says they “shine a spotlight on our quiet achievers". 

"By celebrating the success stories within our industry, we can continue to uplift our peers, highlight the great work we do and raise the profile of insurance in the community.” 

All award winners receive a prize valued at $500, a feature profile on the ANZIIF website and a digital badge verifying their award.
