Frederico, chairman of ACE INA Holdings Inc., will be the twenty-first recipient to receive the prestigious Franklin Award from the Philadelphia Chapter of the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) Society.
Frederico will receive the award “for his leadership; work in advancing professionalism; continuing insurance education; innovations within the industry; and contributions to the community,” said the announcement. It’s to be presented at a special luncheon at the DoubleTree Hotel in Philadelphia on March 13, 2003, honoring Frederico. Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell will be the keynote speaker
“CPCU Philadelphia is pleased to honor Dominic for motivating his employees to pursue continuing insurance education,” stated Valerie Ullman-Katz, immediate past president of CPCU Philadelphia and chairman of the Franklin Award selection committee. “As one of the most respected and admired insurance executives, Dominic’s commitment to supporting the communities where ACE employees live and work has positively impacted the lives of others.”
