Award of Excellence

History: The Dale Rempel Award of Excellence recognizes individuals who have made a significant difference in the professional development of insurance brokers. Only one person is selected each year to receive the Award.

Anyone who has made a significant difference in the professional development of insurance brokers is eligible to receive the Dale Rempel Award of Excellence. This includes association volunteers/non-volunteers, members/non- members, and brokers/non-brokers.

The same person can be nominated again, if he/she is not selected to receive the Award in a given year. A full nomination package (items listed above) must be prepared again and submitted for each subsequent nomination.
