Nominations for the National Insurance Brokers Association’s (NIBA) Stephen Ball Memorial Award for broker of the year must be submitted by April 15.

The award has been renamed in honour of the former NIBA president and JLT Australia chairman who died last year after suffering a heart attack in the UK. It also has a new sponsor in QBE.

Five regional award winners will compete for the national title, which will be announced at the NIBA Convention in September with a prize valued at about $20,000.

Online or printable nomination forms are available here.
