Recognising community excellence

The 2023 NIBA Community Excellence award, sponsored by Liberty Specialty Markets, is currently accepting nominations. The award is aimed at recognising brokers who have made an exceptional effort in helping their clients or positively contributing to their community.

From helping clients and communities come back from floods and natural disasters to supporting important local events, brokers play an incredibly important role in their communities and for their clients.

This award acknowledges the ongoing commitment brokers have to go above and beyond to help their clients and local communities, and truly make a difference.

Hear from last year’s winner of the award, Vanessa Hilton from Aon, about what winning this award has meant to her and how she went above and beyond to help her clients and families devastated by the 2019 fires that ravaged the Southern coast of NSW.
