Nomination Process

As a member of the insurance community, you are a potential nominator, and as such you play a major role in ensuring the Leadership Awards are relevant and responsive to our CIP Society membership and the P&C community in Canada. 

You know that there are shining examples of leadership on the front lines and in the back offices of our profession.  You know the hallmarks of leadership and can recognize strength, character and collaborative spirit in your colleagues.  

That is why the CIP Society will depend on you to identify and nominate potential National Leadership Award winners – those established and emerging leaders who are most deserving of recognition.  We urge you to consider the Awards Criteria and nominate a valued colleague for his or her contribution, collaboration and/or innovative impact on the industry.

To nominate an industry professional for a CIP Society National Leadership Award, please use the appropriate nomination form as indicated under Awards Criteria.

Nominations are accepted March 1 to June 1 each year.

Nominations must be received no later than midnight EST on June 1.

All nominations must be complete; incomplete nominations may not be considered.

Please submit your nomination to:

(1) a local Institute/Chapter manager (for mailing address visit www.insuranceinstitute.ca), OR

(2) c/o CIP Society National Leadership Awards, 18 King Street East, 6^th Floor, Toronto, ON M5C 1C4, OR

(3) by e-mail to: leadership@insuranceinstitute.ca.

A fair and impartial judging panel will support the integrity of the National Leadership Awards. The judging panel is comprised of CIP Society members representing all regions. Nominations will be reviewed anonymously and judged based on a nominee’s personal qualities, professional commitment and accomplishment, including industry contribution and community engagement.

All information provided will be held confidential by the CIP Society but the CIP Society reserves the right to publish positive extracts from winning entries. The verdict of the judging panel is final.

Nominators and selected award recipients will be notified in August or September, in advance of the awards presentation at Insurance Institute convocations or events across the country starting in November, each year.
