The award was created to recognize leadership, accomplishment, and outstanding service to NAMIC and the insurance industry. Heck was recognized during the opening general session of NAMIC’s 111th annual convention held in Tampa, Fla. Robert A. Wadsworth, CPCU, CIC, NAMIC’s 2005-2006 chairman, presented the award to Warren, citing numerous examples of his advocacy on behalf of the industry.
Heck has served as a member of NAMIC’s Regulatory Structure Focus Group and offered the NAMIC board of directors’ guidance on regulatory reform initiatives.
