What are the ITFA Insurance Awards?
 
The ITFA Insurance Award Ceremony is being organised (i) to further promote, and (ii) to build recognition, of Credit Insurance around and beyond the Credit Insurance Community.

Insurers, brokers and banks will join for an afternoon of panels which will close with the announcement of the Awards Winners. A total of 9 Awards will be granted: 3 for Banks, 3 for Brokers, and another 3 for Insurers.

Votes will be counted as follows. All nominees eligible to vote, have been granted rights to vote for the categories they do not belong to. All votes are anonymous.
 
Thus, the nominated Voters, will exercise their voting rights as follows:Banks will vote for Insurer + Broker nominees, Insurers will vote for Bank + Broker nominees, Brokers will vote for Insurer + Bank nominees. The Award winners will be announced via ITFA official communications and on social media.
 
Why are votes so essential?
 
The voting right is both a responsibility as well as an opportunity to voice your opinion and contribute towards what will be the most representative opinion. We need a quorum for the Award Ceremony to be a valid representative of the views expressed by the voters.

Who can vote?

This right to vote is unique and individual. Indeed, the person chosen has been identified as the right and unique representative of your Institution to exercise a vote for certain categories e.g. “Best Insured”/ “Best Broker” and/or the “Best Insurer”. His/ Her name was recommended by ITFA insurers, bankers and/or brokers all active members of the ITFA Insurance Committee.

Over the years, ITFA is proud that several users, facilitators and/or providers of Credit Insurance have joined the association. ITFA is a key industry organization proactive in education, wording templates & opinions and advocacy works promoting the Credit Insurance Product to a variety of stake holders.

Voting has now closed.

We look forward to seeing you all in Montrouge!
