2020 PLUS Emerging Leader Award Winners

PLUS Emerging Leader Award  

This award, in its inaugural year, is given annually to young professionals who excel in their profession and exhibit the attributes to become future leaders in their organization and the professional liability insurance industry.  

We had 26 outstanding nominees put forth by industry colleagues and then invited PLUS members to participate in a voting process to give their input on our industry’s emerging leaders.  

After a thorough review of all nominees and the voting results, the Future PLUS Subcommittee made their recommendation for three award winners.  

We are now pleased to share with you, on behalf of the PLUS Nominating Committee, the 2020 recipients of the PLUS Emerging Leader Award:
