What is the Rick Weaver Award (RWA)? |
Rick Weaver was a 1973 graduate of East Longmeadow High School, where he was an All American in the 100 meter breast stroke. A record he held for 30 years. He was a Toast Master, a boat builder, a sailor and most importantly, an underwriter…
For more than 30 years Rick served the underwriting profession. He was a member of Home Office Underwriters (AHOU) Executive Council and driving force behind development of AHOU.org. A website which continues to grow and provide educational content. He also volunteered his time for the Academy of Life Underwriting (ALU) where he designed exam questions and developed curriculum.
His underwriting peers remember him as an excellent communicator, an inspiring mentor, a good friend, great teacher, a consummate professional, a strong proponent of continuing education in the underwriting profession, and in possession of a fabulous sense of humor.
It is for all of these that we, the NEHOUA, created an award on his honor.
In honor of Rick’s steadfast commitment to Underwriter education, NEHOUA and Lincoln Financial Group joined together to create the RWA in his honor. Each year NEHOUA holds an essay contest open all members of the HomeOffice Underwriting Community. The winner and RWA recipient receives a monetary endowment which allows them to attend the Association of Home Office Underwriters (AHOU) meeting.
