2009 ALUCA TurksLegal Scholarship Winner Announcement
Mr Gavin Lai was announced as the winner of this year’s ALUCA TurksLegal Scholarship on Thursday 10 December 2009.
Gavin, who is Technical Product Manager with TOWER Australia, submitted his paper on the highly topical subject of ‘Retail versus Group Cover’. His paper was commended by Ms Tracey Peters, President of the Australian Life Underwriters & Claims Association (ALUCA) and the Judging Panel, who said;
‘Gavin’s paper was a stand-out in addressing the issues associated with group risk. It provides insights into group cover as a thriving market segment with its own unique features providing benefits to individuals who would otherwise not contemplate individual cover as an alternative.’
Mr Lai has the opportunity to attend an international professional development conference. His prize includes airfares, accommodation, conference registration and spending money.
The scholarship has enjoyed widespread support in the life industry since its inauguration and has benefited from the talents of several industry leaders who have generously given their time and the benefit of their extensive industry experience to set the questions and judge entries each year.
Prizes were also awarded to Ms Vanessa Back, first runner-up, and Ms Anna Norwood, second runner-up, both of CommInsure, who submitted papers on the topic of Genetic Testing.
2009 entrants were required to submit an essay on a prescribed topic pertaining to the life insurance industry. Entrants were evaluated on their ability to understand and provide insight into their chosen topic, research
and conclusions supported by sound evidence, clarity of thought, commercial acumen and overall presentation. The identities of entrants were not revealed until the winning paper was selected to avoid any perceived
bias.
