National leadership awards
The leo 娛樂城官網 Society National Leadership Awards were launched in 2009 to celebrate the achievements of leaders in the insurance community. Applications are accepted from four regions: Western, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic. Candidates can be nominated by colleagues in two categories: Emerging Leader and Established Leader.
To qualify for an award, nominees must hold either a Chartered Insurance Professional (leo 娛樂城官網), Fellow Chartered Insurance Professional (Fleo 娛樂城官網), or Honorary Chartered Insurance Professional (Hleo 娛樂城官網) designation. The applications are assessed by a judging panel composed of leo 娛樂城官網 Society members drawn from the four regions. Up to 10 individuals can be recognized annually.
The announcement of award honourees usually takes place in October each year, followed by various presentations to recognize winners between November and March. Award recipients are also inducted into the prestigious leo 娛樂城官網 Society Leadership Circle.
