Arkansas insurance industry leaders, led by Steve Russell, president of Risk Services of Arkansas, along with insurance executives from around the state announce the establishment of the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame (AIHF) at the University of Central Arkansas. The AIHF will be housed in UCA’s College of Business.
The inaugural ceremony for the first group of inductees is Thursday, October 15, 2015 in the Farris Center on the UCA campus.
An online nomination form is available at www.arinsurancehof.org. Nominations for induction are being accepted until July 10.
The purpose of the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame is to identify and honor individuals with strong ties to the state of Arkansas who have made significant contributions to advance the role of insurance in society. Individuals will be chosen from all segments of the property/casualty insurance, life insurance, health insurance, risk management, and financial services industries, including agents, company employees, insurance regulators, and entrepreneurs who created companies and agencies.
UCA, the only university in Arkansas with an undergraduate degree program in insurance and risk management, was chosen as the host and beneficiary of the AIHF.
AIHF nominees must have achieved success in sales or in another functional area of insurance and risk management, have helped create or served as an officer of an agency or company or have been affiliated with the insurance and risk management industry in another capacity. Selection criteria will also include a strong value system and a firm commitment of service to the community and state.
