The Rough Notes Company

2011 Community Service Award

Nominations are due by the end of December


Nominations for The Rough Notes Company 2011 Community Service Award are due by December 31st. The application and rules for submission for the award appear below.

As described in prior issues, the award recognizes an agent or agency for exemplary public service to the community. The "community" can be local, national or international. A list of previous winners and their community service project or charity appears in our October issue.

Nominations can be made by an agent or broker (including self-nominations) or by employees of an insurance company, an industry association, a vendor or charity. (A supporting letter from the charity or community service project must accompany the nomination.)

The winner of the award receives a $5,000 check from The Rough Notes Company payable to the winner's charity or community service project. The winner also receives an eagle statue with an engraved plaque recognizing the winner's community service work.

The winner will be the guest of The Rough Notes Company at an awards dinner in March 2012 in conjunction with Rough Notes Marketing Agency of the Year celebration. An article about the winner's volunteer service work will appear in a subsequent issue of Rough Notes magazine.

Most agents and brokers volunteer their time to help those less fortunate and make their communities a better place to live. The Rough Notes Community Service Award recognizes and encourages this philanthropic spirit.
