The 2009 Rough Notes Company
Community Service Award
Nomination deadline is approaching
We need your help in identifying independent insurance agents or agencies who have performed extraordinary service in their local communities. For the past 10 years The Rough Notes Company has formally honored independent agents and/or agencies for their philanthropic endeavors which benefit their fellow citizens.
December 31, 2008, is the deadline to nominate an agent or agency for the 2009 Community Service Award. Please help us identify deserving insurance agents or agencies that have touched the lives of those in need and have made this world a better place in which to live.
Use the following nomination form (along with supporting documentation) to recommend an insurance colleague or agency that exhibits the philanthropic spirit we seek. Nominations are open to all independent insurance agents and agencies that perform community service. Also, we allow charities and other community service organizations to nominate a deserving agent or agency.
The winning charity or community service project will receive $5,000 in the name of the winning agent or agency. Each of the honorable mention recipients’ charities or community service projects will receive $1,500 in the winning agent or agency’s name. In addition, the winners will receive an eagle statue with an engraved plaque recognizing their contributions to the less fortunate.
The winner and honorable mention recipients will be honored at an awards dinner in Indianapolis in early 2009 in conjunction with Rough Notes magazine’s annual Marketing Agency of the Year celebration. In addition, Rough Notes magazine will feature an article on the winning agents/agencies.
Please take time to help us by completing the accompanying nomination form and returning it no later than December 31, 2008.
