NEW JERSEY INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD

The N.J. Insurance Professional/Woman of the Year Award

founded
in 1977
by
Philip

of
Global
American
Insurance

The

was
developed
in honor
of Ada

Claire

Each of
these
women
were
members
of the
local
NAIW
association
-Insurance

the
first
local

founded
in New

Ada Doyle was a charter member of the Insurance Women of

formed
in 1938.
In 1940,
she
represented
her
association
at a
Conference
in
Denver,
Colorado,

time the
National
Association

International

formed.
Ada
served
her
local
association
in many
capacities
and was
also the

NEW JERSEY ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD HISTORY
In 2004 the State Director asked the Awards Chair why we
did not
have a
New
Jersey
Rookie
of the
Year
Award.
Simply
put, we
did not
have a
sponsor.
Enter
Leo
Hogan,
Chairman
and CEO
of
Cumberland
Insurance
Group.
The Rookie of the Year Award was developed by the New
Jersey
Council
of NAIW
and
Cumberland
Insurance
Group in
2004.
The
trophy
has been
referred
to as
the
“Stanley
Cup” of
the
State
awards
and is
passed
from
winner
to
winner
at the
annual
State
awards
luncheon.
The purpose of the award is to
recognize
the
accomplishments
of a new
member
who has
made a
significant
contribution
to NAIW
within
two
years of
joining
the
association.
The
active
pursuit
of
continuing
professional
education,
both
from
NAIW and
from
other
sources,
NAIW-related
activities
and
other
activities
that
show the

dedication
to NAIW
and the
insurance
industry
are all
considered
by the
judges.
