Steve Russell, president of Risk Services of Arkansas in Little Rock, along with other insurance industry leaders have announced that the College of Business at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway will house the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame.
UCA, chosen as both the host and beneficiary of the AIHF, is the only university in Arkansas offering undergraduate degree programs in insurance and risk management, the university said in a press release.
“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,” the release said.
“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.”
Nominations for the AIHF’s inaugural class can be submitted online until July 10 at ARInsuranceHOF.org.
Submission criteria include strong values and commitment to state and community well-being, as well as having achieved success in sales or another relevant area of insurance and risk management work.
